  abstract = {{A}nthropogenic landscape transformation has an important effect on vector-borne pathogen transmission. {H}owever, the effects of urbanization on mosquito communities are still only poorly known. {H}ere, we evaluate how land-use characteristics are related to the abundance and community composition of mosquitoes in an area with endemic circulation of numerous mosquito-borne pathogens. {W}e collected 340 829 female mosquitoes belonging to 13 species at 45 localities spatially grouped in 15 trios formed by 1 urban, 1 rural and 1 natural area. {M}osquito abundance and species richness were greater in natural and rural areas than in urban areas. {E}nvironmental factors including land use, vegetation and hydrological characteristics were related to mosquito abundance and community composition. {G}iven the differing competences of each species in pathogen transmission, these results provide valuable information on the transmission potential of mosquito-borne pathogens that will be of great use in public and animal health management by allowing, for instance, the identification of the priority areas for pathogen surveillance and vector control.},
