In addition, we explored the co-occurrence of these species in their usual larval habitats. Two traps were compared with two conditions each using a Latin square design: BG Sentinel trap baited with carbon dioxide (CO2) with\/without addition of BG Lure and ovi-sticky trap with\/without hay. The ovi-sticky traps proved ineffective. For both Aedes species, CO2-baited traps were equally effective at catching females when baited with the lure or not. In contrast, they were more attractive to males than for females with the lure. Aedes aegypti larvae were found in four of six vacoas (Pandanus utilis), and one of four anthropogenic breeding sites. In vacoas, the densities of Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti larvae were negatively correlated, whereas the correlation was positive between chironomids and Aedes aegypti. The abundance of adults and larvae varied according to weather conditions. Finally, CO2-baited traps were used without lure for the entomological monitoring to assess the effectiveness of the area-wide boosted SIT intervention to reduce costs and logistics.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/insects16090932","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,5]],"date-time":"2025-09-05T09:51:21Z","timestamp":1757065881000},"page":"932","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Distribution of Larval Habitats and Efficiency of Various Trap Settings to Monitor Sympatric Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti in La Reunion"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-8331-8953","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Caroline","family":"Vitry","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Plateforme Technologique Cyroi, Umr Astre, Cirad, Inrae, University of Montpellier, 97490 Sainte-Clotilde, La R\u00e9union, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-5122-4815","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ronan","family":"Brouazin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Plateforme Technologique Cyroi, Umr Astre, Cirad, Inrae, University of Montpellier, 97490 Sainte-Clotilde, La R\u00e9union, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-7851-7632","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anthony","family":"Herbin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Plateforme Technologique Cyroi, Umr Mivegec, Institut de Recherche pour le D\u00e9veloppement (IRD), University of Montpellier, CNRS, 97490 Sainte-Clotilde, La R\u00e9union, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-9617-9730","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mathieu","family":"Whiteside","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Plateforme Technologique Cyroi, Umr Mivegec, Institut de Recherche pour le D\u00e9veloppement (IRD), University of Montpellier, CNRS, 97490 Sainte-Clotilde, La R\u00e9union, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"C\u00e9cile","family":"Brengues","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Plateforme Technologique Cyroi, Umr Mivegec, Institut de Recherche pour le D\u00e9veloppement (IRD), University of Montpellier, CNRS, 97490 Sainte-Clotilde, La R\u00e9union, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2979-9517","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Thierry","family":"Baldet","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Plateforme Technologique Cyroi, Umr Astre, Cirad, Inrae, University of Montpellier, 97490 Sainte-Clotilde, La R\u00e9union, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5826-5242","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Renaud","family":"Lancelot","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Plateforme Technologique Cyroi, Umr Astre, Cirad, Inrae, University of Montpellier, 97490 Sainte-Clotilde, La R\u00e9union, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1913-416X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"J\u00e9r\u00e9my","family":"Bouyer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Plateforme Technologique Cyroi, Umr Astre, Cirad, Inrae, University of Montpellier, 97490 Sainte-Clotilde, La R\u00e9union, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Hafsia, S., Haramboure, M., Wilkinson, D.A., Baldet, T., Yemadje-Menudier, L., Vincent, M., Tran, A., Atyame, C., and Mavingui, P.
