*4.2. Mosquito Collection*

Mosquitoes were collected weekly from mid-May to late October, corresponding to the mosquito season in the Rhône Delta, Camargue. CDC-like traps (John W. Hock Company, Gainesville, FL, USA) were used without light and were baited with carbon-dioxide dry ice (−80 ◦C). The trapping network was composed of 8 traps in the departments of Gard, 8 traps in Bouches-du-Rhône, and 6 traps in Hérault departments. Mosquitoes were stored in the fridge, killed, and identified with identification morphological keys.
