The Aedes mosquito is known to transmit yellow fever (YF), dengue, chikungunya, and Zika viruses in West Africa. Togo has been suffering from YF virus transmission, despite vaccination efforts. Unfortunately, there is scarcity in the data that reflect mosquito spatial distribution in Togo, specifically possible YF vectors. In the current study, mosquito surveillance efforts targeted areas with confirmed YF cases between July and August 2012. Indoor mosquitoes were collected using knockdown insecticide spraying, whereas Biogents (BG) traps were used to collect outdoor mosquito adults. Mosquito larval surveillance was conducted as well. In total, 17 species were identified. This investigation revealed the presence of medically important vectors in Togo, especially the Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus) (Diptera: Culicidae) which was collected in the four regions. Screening of all pools of female Aedes mosquitoes for YF, by real-time PCR, showed negative results. This is the first record for Coquillettidia flavocincta (Edwards) (Diptera: Culicidae) species in West Africa. This preliminary work serves as a baseline for further mosquito distribution studies in Togo.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jme\/tjz029","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,30]],"date-time":"2019-03-30T03:29:42Z","timestamp":1553916582000},"page":"1154-1158","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Preliminary Screening of Mosquito Spatial Distribution in Togo: With Special Focus on the Aedes (Diptera: Culicidae) Species"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"56","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4223-8952","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hala S","family":"Thabet","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"U.S. Naval Medical Research Unit No. 3 (NAMRU-3), U.S. Agency for International Development, Maadi, Cairo, Egypt"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Emadeldin Y","family":"Fawaz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"U.S. Naval Medical Research Unit No. 3 (NAMRU-3), U.S. Agency for International Development, Maadi, Cairo, Egypt"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kossi","family":"Badziklou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institut National D\u2019Hygiene, Lom\u00e9, Togo, West Africa"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Reham A","family":"Tag ElDin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"U.S. Naval Medical Research Unit No. 3 (NAMRU-3), U.S. Agency for International Development, Maadi, Cairo, Egypt"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rania M","family":"Kaldas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"U.S. Naval Medical Research Unit No. 3 (NAMRU-3), U.S. Agency for International Development, Maadi, Cairo, Egypt"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nermeen T","family":"Fahmy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"U.S. Naval Medical Research Unit No. 3 (NAMRU-3), U.S. Agency for International Development, Maadi, Cairo, Egypt"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tsidi Agbeko","family":"Tamekloe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division de l\u2019Epid\u00e9miologie, Minist\u00e8re de la Sant\u00e9 du Togo, Lom\u00e9, Togo, West Africa"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Abiba","family":"Kere-Banla","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institut National D\u2019Hygiene, Lom\u00e9, Togo, West Africa"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"suffix":"II","given":"Joseph W","family":"Diclaro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"U.S. Naval Medical Research Unit No. 3 (NAMRU-3), U.S. Agency for International Development, Maadi, Cairo, Egypt"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,30]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"2019062800324147600_CIT0001","first-page":"15","article-title":"Observations on filarial infection in Amassoma Community in the Niger Delta, Nigeria","volume":"13","author":"Agi","year":"2009","journal-title":"J.
