  abstract = {{M}alaria vectors are supposedly uncommon in urban areas owing to the lack of suitable breeding sites for their development. {H}owever, the maintenance in urban areas of traditional rural practices along with humanitarian crisis can create favorable conditions for malaria transmission. {T}his study aimed to provide relevant entomological data on the risk of malaria transmission in the city of {B}ouake, after the military-political crisis from 2002 to 2011 in {C}ote d'{I}voire. {A}dults mosquitoes were collected by human landing catches in {D}ar {E}s {S}alam, {K}ennedy and {N}'gattakro neighborhoods. {P}otential breeding sites were georeferenced and mapped using a {GPS}. {M}osquito species were identified morphologically and by molecular methods. {P}lasmodium infections were detected by quantitative {PCR}. {A}nopheline larvae were found in rice and vegetable crops, puddles, and footprints. {A} total of 939 {A}nopheles gambiae s.l. were caught during the surveys. {T}he average human biting rate was 8.8 bites/person/night. {T}he {A}. gambiae s.l. species were {A}. gambiae s.s (89.6%) and {A}nopheles coluzzii (10.4%). {T}he average infectivity rate was 0.74% and the average annual entomological inoculation rate was estimated at 19 infected bites/person/year ranging from 0 in {D}ar {E}s {S}alam and {N}'gattakro to 58 in {K}ennedy. {T}he risk of malaria transmission exists in {B}ouake city, although {P}lasmodium infections are low.},
