In the Central African Republic since 2006, cases have been notified in the provinces of Ombella-Mpoko, Ouham-Pende, Basse-Kotto, Haute-Kotto and in Bangui the capital. As the presence of a vector of yellow fever virus (YFV) represents a risk for spread of the disease, we undertook entomological investigations at these sites to identify potential vectors of YFV and their abundance.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Findings<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Between 2006 and 2010, 5066 mosquitoes belonging to six genera and 43 species were identified. The 20 species of the <jats:italic>Aedes<\/jats:italic> genus identified included <jats:italic>Ae. aegypti<\/jats:italic>, the main vector of YFV in urban settings, and species found in tropical forests, such as <jats:italic>Ae. africanus<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Ae. simpsoni<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Ae. luteocephalus<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Ae. vittatus<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>Ae. opok<\/jats:italic>. These species were not distributed uniformly in the various sites studied. Thus, the predominant <jats:italic>Aedes<\/jats:italic> species was <jats:italic>Ae. aegypti<\/jats:italic> in Bangui (90.7\u2009%) and Basse-Kotto (42.2\u2009%), <jats:italic>Ae. africanus<\/jats:italic> in Ombella-Mpoko (67.4\u2009%) and Haute-Kotto (77.8\u2009%) and <jats:italic>Ae. vittatus<\/jats:italic> in Ouham-Pende (62.2\u2009%). <jats:italic>Ae. albopictus<\/jats:italic> was also found in Bangui. The distribution of these dominant species differed significantly according to study site (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.0001). None of the pooled homogenates of <jats:italic>Aedes<\/jats:italic> mosquitoes analysed by polymerase chain reaction contained the YFV genome.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>The results indicate a wide diversity of vector species for YFV in the Central African Republic.
