  abstract = {{B}ackground{T}he use of urban lowlands for agriculture contributes to the food security of city- dwellers, but promotes malaria transmission. {T}he objective of the study was to characterize the entomological drivers of malaria transmission in two lowlands ({N}'{G}attakro and {O}diennekourani) in the city of {B}ouake, {C}ote d'{I}voire.{M}ethods{T}he human landing catch technique was used to capture mosquitoes in houses located at the edge of two lowlands in {B}ouake from {F}ebruary to {D}ecember 2019. {C}ultivated surfaces were calculated monthly in both lowlands for each crop type (rice and market gardening) using images acquired by a drone. {T}he different mosquito species were identified morphologically and by {PCR} analysis for the {A}nopheles gambiae complex. {A}nopheles infection by {P}lasmodium parasites was assessed by quantitative {PCR}. {M}osquito diversity, biting behaviour and rhythmicity, and malaria transmission were determined in each lowland and compared.{R}esults{A}nopheles gambiae sensu lato (s.l.) was predominant in {N}'{G}attakro and {C}ulex quinquefasciatus in {O}diennekourani. {F}our {A}nopheles species were identified: {A}n. gambiae s.l. and {A}nopheles funestus s.l. in both lowlands, {A}nopheles pharoensis in {N}'{G}attakro, and {A}nopheles ziemanni in {O}diennekourani. {W}ithin the {A}n. gambiae complex, three species were caught: {A}n. gambiae sensu stricto (s.s.), {A}nopheles coluzzii, and {A}nopheles arabiensis for the first time in {C}ote d'{I}voire (30.1%, 69.9% and 0% in {N}'{G}attakro, and 45.1%, 52.6% and 2.4% in {O}diennekourani, respectively). {A}nopheles gambiae s.l. species exhibited a significant exophagic behaviour in {N}'{G}attakro (77.1% of outdoor bites versus 52.2% in {O}diennekourani). {I}n {N}'{G}attakro, 12.6% of captures occurred before bedtime (09.00 pm) and after waking up (05.00 am), 15.1% in {O}diennekourani. {T}he mean human biting rate was higher in {N}'{G}attakro than in {O}diennekourani (61.6 versus 15.5 bites per person per night). {O}verall, {A}nopheles infection rate was 0.68%, with 0.539 and 0.029 infected bites per person per night in {N}'{G}attakro and {O}diennekourani, respectively.{C}onclusion{T}he risk of malaria in urban agricultural lowland areas is uneven. {T}he role of agricultural developments and irrigation patterns in the production of larval habitat should be explored. {T}he exophagic behaviour of {A}nopheles vectors raises the question of the residual transmission that needs to be assessed to implement appropriate control strategies.},
