  abstract = {{T}he ecology, population dynamics, and malaria vector efficiency of #{A}nopheles gambiae$ and #{A}n. arabiensis$ were studied for 2 yr in a {S}ahelian village of {S}enegal. {A}nophelines were captured at human bait and resting indoors by pyrethrum spray. {M}osquitoes belonging to the #{A}n. gambiae$ complex were identified by polymerase chain reaction. {O}f 26,973 females, #{A}n. arabiensis$ represented 79% of the mosquitoes captured and remained in the study area longer than #{A}n. gambiae$ after the rains terminated. {T}here were no differences in nocturnal biting cycles or endophagous rates between #{A}n. gambiae$ and #{A}n. arabiensis$. {B}ased on an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay test of bloodmeals, the anthropophilic rate of these 2 vectors were both approximately 60%, when comparisons were made during the same period. {O}verall, 18% of the resting females had patent mixed bloodmeals, mainly human-bovine. {T}he parity rates of #{A}n. gambiae$ and #{A}n. arabiensis$ varied temporally. {D}espite similar behavior, the #{P}lasmodium falciparum$ circumsporozoite protein ({CSP}) rates were different between #{A}n. gambiae$ (4.1%) and #{A}n. arabiensis$ (1.3%). #{P}. malariae$ and #{P}. ovale$ only represented 4% of the total #{P}lasmodium$ identified in mosquitoes. {T}ransmission was seasonal, occurring mainly during 4 mo. {T}he {CSP} entomological inoculation rates were 128 bites per human per year for the 1st yr and 100 for the 2nd yr. {B}ecause of the combination of a high human biting rate and a low {CSP} rate, #{A}n. arabiensis$ accounted for 63% of transmission. {P}ossible origin of differences in {CSP} rate between #{A}n. gambiae$ and #{A}n. arabiensis$ is discussed in relation to the parity rate, blood feeding frequency, and the hypothesis of genetic factors.
