  abstract = {{A}lthough the urban areas of {A}bidjan, {C}ote d'{I}voire have faced recurrent outbreaks of {A}edes-borne arboviruses, the seasonal dynamics of local populations of the key vector {A}edes aegypti remained still underexplored for an effective vector control. {T}he current study thus assessed the seasonal dynamics and the spatial distribution of {A}e. aegypti in three neighborhoods of {A}bidjan city. {A}edes eggs were collected using ovitraps in three different neighborhoods ({A}noumambo, {B}romakote, and {P}etit-{B}assam) during the four climatic seasons of {A}bidjan. {A}edes egg samples were immersed into distilled water, and emerged larvae were reared until the adult stage for species morphological identification. {S}patial autocorrelation was measured with the {M}oran's {I}ndex, and areas with high egg abundance were identified. {I}n total, 3837 eggs were collected providing 1882 adult mosquitoes in the 3 neighborhoods. {A}ll the specimens belonged to only one {A}edes species, {A}e. aegypti. {T}he average of 15.89 eggs per ovitrap, 13.67 eggs per ovitrap, and 19.87 eggs per ovitrap were obtained in {A}noumambo, {B}romakote, and {P}etit-{B}assam, respectively, with no statistical difference between the three sites. {A} higher abundance of {A}e. aegypti was observed during the long rainy season and the short dry season. {T}he {M}oran analysis showed a clustered distribution of {A}e. aegypti eggs during the long rainy season in the three sites and a random spatial distribution during the short dry season. {O}vitraps with high number of eggs were aggregated in the peripheral part (near to the lagoon) of {A}noumambo and {P}etit-{B}assam in central {B}romakote and extending along the railway during the long rainy season. {T}his study revealed a heterogeneous potential risk of transmission of arbovirus according to neighborhood. {I}t provided data to better understand {A}e. aegypti ecology to select appropriate periods and places for {A}edes vector control actions and surveillance of arboviruses in {A}bidjan.},
