Dengue is a viral disease transmitted primarily by <jats:italic>Aedes aegypti<\/jats:italic>, a highly anthropophilic mosquito that thrives in human-transformed environments and breeds predominantly in artificial containers. In 2018, we investigated the resting and blood-feeding habits of <jats:italic>Ae. aegypti<\/jats:italic> in urban settings of Ouagadougou. In a 3-month cross-sectional study starting in August 2018, indoors and outdoors resting adult mosquitoes were collected using Prokopack aspirators in three health districts (HD). All mosquitoes were morphologically identified, and DNA was extracted from blood-fed <jats:italic>Ae. aegypti<\/jats:italic> females. A multiplex polymerase chain reaction with specific primers was used to identify the origin of the blood meal. A total of 4,256 adult <jats:italic>Ae. aegypti<\/jats:italic> mosquitoes, including 1,908 females, were collected. A preference for exophily was recorded in Bogodogo and Nongremassom, although an unexpectedly higher proportion of blood-fed females were found indoors than outdoors. Respectively, 96.09%, 91.03%, and 95.54% of the blood meals successfully analyzed in Baskuy, Bogodogo, and Nongremassom were from a single human host, with the remainder from domestic mammals as single or multiple hosts. Modeling total <jats:italic>Ae. aegypti<\/jats:italic> and blood-fed female counts showed that among other predictors, human density, outdoor environment, and house type affect their total densities. Our study revealed an exophilic tendency as well as a pronounced anthropophilic preference of <jats:italic>Ae. aegypti<\/jats:italic> adults, critical findings to consider when planning accurate entomological surveillance and effective interventions against <jats:italic>Ae. aegypti<\/jats:italic> in urban settings.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.24-0240","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,15]],"date-time":"2024-10-15T15:56:36Z","timestamp":1729007796000},"page":"1295-1301","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Blood-Feeding
