International audience. The islets of Europa, Juan-de-Nova and Grande-Glorieuse are French territories isolated in the Mozambique Channel (Indian Ocean) which have remained relatively preserved from anthropization all along their history These three islets have been classified entire nature reserves from 1975 and are today inhabited only by a permanent military detachment of about fifteen men even if they occasionally greet technical and scientific staff. Sanitary and environmental issues brought about assessment of the present culicid fauna. The authors propose a synthesis of the culicid knowledge from the islets and make an inventory of new species. The role played by humans in importation of culicids is discussed as well as sanitary consequences of their adaptation to environment . Les îlots français de Europa, Juan-de-Nova et Grande-Glorieuse, isolés dans le Canal du Mozambique (océan Indien), sont restés relativement préservés de l’anthropisation au cours de leur histoire. Classés réserves naturelles intégrales, ils ne sont aujourd’hui habités en permanence que par un détachement militaire et accueillent occasionnellement des personnels techniques et scientifiques. Des questions d’ordre sanitaire et environnemental ont amené à l’étude de la faune culicidienne présente. Les auteurs proposent une synthèse des connaissances sur les Culicidés de ces îlots, inventorient de nouvelles espèces et discutent du rôle de l’homme dans leur importation et les conséquences sanitaires de leur adaptation au milieu.
