  abstract = {{T}he {C}amargue is an extensive wetland in the southeast of {F}rance, which is highly influenced by human activities. {L}arge ponds, marshes and irrigated fields provide abundant potential breeding sites for mosquitoes. mosquitoes, which are important in terms of the nuisance they cause to people and animals, the limitations they impose on tourism and their potential threat to human health. {S}everal of the mosquito species present are potential vectors of malaria and {W}est {N}ile virus. {T}herefore, the population dynamics of these species were monitored over an entire breeding season during {M}arch-{O}ctober 2005. {M}osquito populations were sampled in two study areas once every 2 weeks, using {CDC} light traps baited with {CO}2. {S}ixteen species were collected. {T}he majority (98.7%) of the catch were {A}edes caspius ({P}allas) ({D}iptera: {C}ulicidae), {C}ulex modestus ({F}icalbi), {C}ulex pipiens {L}. and {A}nopheles hyrcanus ({P}allas). {T}he population dynamics of these species varied considerably in relation to the species' biology, climatic conditions (rainfall, temperature and season), water management, implementation of mosquito control campaigns and landscape use.},
