  abstract = {{I}t is well known that 'in many instances the rice agrosystem perfectly fits the ecological requirements of pathogens or vectors' and in fact 'malaria, schistosomiasis and {J}apanese encephalitis are important vector-borne diseases associated with rice production in developing countries' ({IRRI}, 1987). {I}n spite of these fears, rice cultivation has been on the increase in the {A}frican region in response to demographic and economic pressures. {H}owever, although rice fields provide suitable breeding places for #{A}nopheles$ mosquitoes and rice cultivation leads to an increase in the biting rates, the species which are adapted to these sites are not the same in all parts of {A}frica. {S}everal examples illustrate this phenomenon : #{A}n. funestus$ in the rice fields of {M}adagascar, #{A}n. pharoensis$ in saline water rice fields in the delta of the {S}enegal river, #{A}n. arabiensis$ in northern {C}ameroon and {B}urundi, #{A}n. gambiae$ {M}opti form in the {K}ou {V}alley ({B}urkina {F}aso) and #{A}n. gambiae$ {S}avanna form in the rice fields of {K}afine near {B}ouak{\'e} ({C}{\^o}te d'{I}voire). {T}he vectorial capacities of these species are not the same and malaria inoculation rates are not necessarily increased in the riceland agroecosystem. {T}he consequences for malaria of introducing rice cultivation depend on the situation before its introduction : it could be worsened in unstable malaria areas but not in stable malaria areas. {T}herefore, sound epidemiological and entomological knowledge are needed before causing any environmental modifications for agricultural purposes and there should be regular monitoring to avoid any outbreak.
