  abstract = {{S}everal dengue epidemics recently occurred in {L}a {R}eunion, an island harboring two dengue viruses ({DV}s) vectors: {A}edes albopictus, and {A}e. aegypti, the former being the main local {DV} vector. {A}edes aegypti shows a peculiar ecology, compared to other tropical populations of the same species. {T}his study aimed to provide researchers and public-health users with locally validated oviposition traps (ovitraps) to monitor {A}edes populations. {A} field experiment was performed in {S}aint-{J}oseph to assess the effect of different settings on the detection probability and apparent density of {A}edes mosquitoes. {B}lack plastic ovitraps were identified as the best choice. {V}acoa trees ({P}andanus utilis) were the only observed breeding sites for {A}e. aegypti, shared with {A}e. albopictus. {T}hey were the experimental units in a {L}atin square design with three factors: trap position in the trees (ground vs canopy), oviposition surface in the trap (blotting paper vs. vacoa leaf), and addition of organic matter to the trap water. {T}he latter factor was found unimportant. {O}n the ground, {A}e. aegypti eggs were only found with vacoa leaves as the oviposition surface. {T}heir detection and apparent density increased when ovitraps were located in the tree canopy. {T}he main factor for {A}e. albopictus was the oviposition surface, with a preference for blotting paper. {I}n all trap settings, their detection was close to 100%. {L}arval survival was lower for a high egg density, combined with blotting paper as the oviposition surface. {W}hen monitoring mixed {A}edes populations in {L}a {R}eunion, we recommend using black plastic ovitraps, placed at 1.50-to-2.00-m high in vacoa trees, with vacoa leaves as the oviposition surface.},
