%X This study in Senegal compared the feeding preferences of #Anopheles gambiae$ and #A. arabiensis$ while controlling for equal accessibility to hosts located outdoors under bed net traps. All fed #A. gambiae$ complex females were identified with the aid of the polymerase chain reaction and their blood meal sources were identified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. A total of 605 anophelines, including 281 #A. gambiae$ and 301 #A. arabiensis$, were captured, 32.2 % in the human-baited traps and 67.8 % in bovine-baited traps. 30.3 % of #A. gambiae$ fed in the former and 69.7 % fed in the latter ; the corresponding figures for #A. arabiensis$ were 29.6 % and 70.4 %. Thus, when the hosts were located outdoors and made equally available, the feeding preferences of #A. gambiae$ and #A. arabiensis$ were similar (P=0.81). These results suggest that biases existed in previous studies, most of which suggested that #A. arabiensis$ was more zoophilic than #A. gambiae$. Alternatively, the feeding behaviour of these 2 species may differ in various parts of Africa. (Résumé d'auteur)
