The objective of this work was to identify the population variation of the main necrophagous Diptera in the sub-Sudanese zone of Côte d'Ivoire. Three traps, inspired by Upton's and using pig liver and viscera as bait were placed on the site of the Botanical Garden of Peleforo Gon Coulibaly University and Lataha located 10 km from the Botanical Garden. Weekly captures were taken from October 4, 2018 to October 3, 2019. In total, 194,853 individuals from the Calliphoridae, Sarcophagidae and Muscidae were collected. Calliphoridae represented 48%, Sarcophagidae 24% and Muscidae 28% in the Botanical Garden site and in Lataha, Calliphoridae presented 52%, Sarcophagidae 27% and Muscidae 21%. Chrysomya albiceps, Sarcophaga carnaria and Musca domestica were the majority species. The numbers of these three species were higher at relative humidity levels reaching 70 to 85%. A correlation between relative humidity and the numbers of these three species was observed. Apart from relative humidity, these results show that other climatic parameters have a weak influence on the activity of Chrysomya albiceps, Sarcophaga carnaria and Musca domestica. During this study, temperature and rainfall had little influence on the variation in the numbers of these three main species of necrophagous insects. However, the numbers of the three species were correlated with relative humidity levels.
