  abstract = {{C}ross-sectional entomological surveys were carried out during the 2006 dry and rainy seasons in {L}agdo, {C}ameroon to measure the impact of rice cultivation on malaria transmission and to monitor vector susceptibility to insecticides. {A}dult anopheline mosquitoes were captured on human volunteers and by pyrethrum spray collections. {A} total of 4740 mosquitoes was collected during the study. {A}nopheles arabiensis was the major species and the main malaria vector in all study sites, followed by {A}. funestus. {M}alaria transmission was high in the non-irrigated zone of {M}ayo {M}bocki, whereas in the irrigated area of {G}ounougou it was below detection level during the dry season and high during the rainy season. {I}nsecticide susceptibility tests performed on {A}. gambiae s.l. populations detected resistance to lambdacyhalothrin and to a lower extent to deltamethrin. {A}ll survivors were {A}. arabiensis. {N}one of the surviving mosquitoes carried the kdr mutation, suggesting an alternative resistance mechanism.},
