  abstract = {{B}ackground: {M}alaria is a former endemic problem in the {C}amargue, {S}outh {E}ast {F}rance, an area from where very few recent data concerning {A}nopheles are available. {A} study was undertaken in 2005 to establish potential malaria vector biology and dynamics and evaluate the risk of malaria reemergence. {M}ethods: {M}osquitoes were collected in two study areas, from {M}arch to {O}ctober 2005, one week every two weeks, using light traps+ {CO}2, horse bait traps, human bait catch, and by collecting females in resting sites. {R}esults: {A}nopheles hyrcanus was the most abundant {A}nopheles species. {A}nopheles melanoon was less abundant, and {A}nopheles atroparvus and {A}nopheles algeriensis were rare. {A}nopheles hyrcanus and {A}n. melanoon were present in summer, whereas {A}n. atroparvus was present in autumn and winter. {A} large number of {A}n. hyrcanus females was collected on humans, whereas almost exclusively animals attracted {A}n. melanoon. {B}ased on an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, almost 90% of {A}n. melanoon blood meals analysed had been taken on horse or bovine. {A}nopheles hyrcanus and {A}n. melanoon parity rates showed huge variations according to the date and the trapping method. {C}onclusion: {A}nopheles hyrcanus seems to be the only {C}ulicidae likely to play a role in malaria transmission in the {C}amargue, as it is abundant and anthropophilic.},
