  abstract = {{B}ackground. {A}narchic and poorly controlled urbanization led to an increased risk of mosquito-borne diseases ({MBD}) in many {A}frican cities. {H}ere, we evaluate the spatial heterogeneity of human exposure to malaria and arboviral disease vectors in an urban area of northern {S}enegal, using antibody-based biomarkers of exposure to {A}nopheles and {A}edes mosquito bites. {M}ethods. {A} cross-sectional study was undertaken during the rainy season of 2014 in 4 neighborhoods of {S}aint-{L}ouis, a city in northern {S}enegal. {A}mong children aged 6-59 months in each neighborhood, the dried blood spot technique was used to evaluate immunoglobulin {G} ({I}g{G}) responses to both g{SG}6-{P}1 ({A}nopheles) and {N}term-34-k{D}a ({A}edes) salivary peptides as validated biomarkers of respective mosquito bite exposure. {R}esults. {I}g{G} response levels to g{SG}6-{P}1 and {N}term-34-k{D}a salivary peptides varied significantly between the 4 neighborhoods ({P} <.0001). {T}he level of exposure to {A}edes bites also varied according to household access to sanitation services ({P} .027), whereas that of exposure to {A}nopheles bites varied according to insecticide-treated bed net use ({P} .006). {I}n addition, spatial clusters of high contact between humans and mosquitoes were identified inside 3 neighborhoods. {C}onclusions. {A}ntibody-based biomarkers of exposure to {A}nopheles and {A}edes mosquito bites could be helpful tools for evaluating the heterogeneity of exposure to malaria and arboviral disease vectors by national control programs.},
