  abstract = {{J}apanese {E}ncephalitis ({JE}) is the most important cause of human encephalitis in {S}outheast {A}sia, and this zoonosis is mainly transmitted from pigs to human by mosquitoes. {A} better understanding of the host-feeding preference of {J}apanese encephalitis virus ({JEV}) major vectors is crucial for identifying risk areas, defining bridge vector species and targeting adapted vector control strategies. {T}o assess host-feeding preference of {JE} vectors in a rural {C}ambodian area where {JE} is known to circulate, in 2017, we implemented four sessions of mosquito trapping ({M}arch, {J}une, {S}eptember, {D}ecember), during five consecutive nights, collecting four times a night (6 p.m. to 6 a.m.), and using five baited traps simultaneously, i.e., cow, chicken, pig, human, and a blank one for control. {I}n addition, blood meals of 157 engorged females trapped at the same location were opportunistically analyzed with polymerase chain reaction ({PCR}), using cow, pig, human, and dog blood primers. {M}ore than 95% of the 36,709 trapped mosquitoes were potential {JE} vectors. {T}hese vectors were trapped in large numbers throughout the year, including during the dry season, and from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. {D}espite the apparent host-feeding preference of {C}ulex vishnui, {C}x. gelidus, and {C}x. tritaenhyorhincus for cows, statistical analysis suggested that the primary target of these three mosquito species were pigs. {D}og blood was detected in eight mosquitoes of the 157 tested, showing that mosquitoes also bite dogs, and suggesting that dogs may be used as proxy of the risk for human to get infected by {JE} virus.},
