  abstract = {{A}n entomological survey was conducted on vectors of malaria in a village of the forest-savannah transition area in {C}ameroon from {F}ebruary 1999 to {O}ctober 2000. {A} total of 2,050 anopheline mosquitoes belonging to eight species were caught 1) after landing on human volunteers, 2) by using pyrethrum spray collections in human dwellings, and 3) in resting sites outdoors. {A}nopheles funestus {G}iles was the most abundant species (accounting for 91% of anophelines caught) followed by {A}nopheles gambiae {G}iles (7%). {A}pplying polymerase chain reaction led to the identification of all specimens of the {A}n. funestus group as {A}n. funestus sensu stricto and mosquitoes from the {A}n. gambiae complex were mostly {A}n. gambiae sensu stricto of the {S} molecular form. {M}alaria transmission was perennial with an entomological inoculation rate estimated at 172 infective bites per person during the period of study. {A}n. funestus was responsible for 88% of the total malaria transmission, with a {P}lasmodium falciparum circumsporozoite rate of 6.8% and an anthropophilic rate of 99.3%. {T}hese results confirm that in high agricultural activity areas, {A}n. funestus can be, by far, the major malaria vector.},
