  abstract = {{A}edes albopictus ({D}iptera: {C}ulicidae) was first reported in {C}entral {A}frica in 2000, together with the indigenous mosquito species {A}edes aegypti ({D}iptera: {C}ulicidae). {B}ecause {A}e. albopictus can also transmit arboviruses, its introduction is a public health concern. {W}e undertook a comparative study in three {C}ameroonian towns ({S}ahelian domain: {G}aroua; equatorial domain: {D}ouala and {Y}aounde) in order to document infestation by the two species and their ecological preferences. {H}igh and variable levels of pre-imaginal {A}e. aegypti and {A}e. albopictus infestation were detected. {O}nly {A}e. aegypti was encountered in {G}aroua, whereas both species were found in {D}ouala and {Y}aounde, albeit with significant differences in their relative prevalence. {P}eridomestic water containers were the most strongly colonized and productive larval habitats for both species. {N}o major differences in types of larval habitat were found, but {A}e. albopictus preferentially bred in containers containing plant debris or surrounded by vegetation, whereas {A}e. aegypti tended to breed in containers located in environments with a high density of buildings. {T}hese findings may have important implications for vector control strategies.},
