  abstract = {{B}ackground: {T}he adaptation of {A}nopheles gambiae to humans and its environment involves an ongoing speciation process that can be best demonstrated by the existence of various chromosomal forms adapted to different environments and of two molecular forms known as incipient taxonomic units. {M}ethods: {T}he aim of this study was to compare the epidemiologic role of {A}nopheles arabiens is and the molecular forms {M} and {S} of {A}nopheles gambiae in the transmission of {P}lasmodium in a rural areas of southern {S}enegal, {D}ielmo. {T}he sampling of mosquitoes was carried out monthly between {J}uly and {D}ecember 2004, during the rainy season, by human volunteers and pyrethrum spray catches. {R}esults: {A}nopheles arabiensis, {A}n. gambiae {M} and {S} forms coexisted during the rainy season with a predominance of the {M} form in {S}eptember and the peak of density being observed in {A}ugust for the {S} form. {S}imilar parity rates were observed in {A}n. arabiensis [70.9%] (n = 86), {A}n. gambiae {M} form [68.7%] (n = 64) and {A}n. gambiae {S} form [81.1%] (n = 156). {T}he circumsporozoite protein ({CSP}) rates were 2.82% (n = 177), 3.17% (n = 315) and 3.45% (n = 405), with the mean anthropophilic rates being 71.4% (n = 14), 86.3% (n = 22) and 91.6% (n = 24) respectively for {A}n. arabiensis and {A}n. gambiae {M} and {S} forms. {N}o significant difference was observed either in host preference or in {P}lasmodium falciparum infection rates between sympatric {M} and {S} populations. {C}onclusion: {N}o difference was observed either in host preference or in {P}lasmodium falciparum infection rates between sympatric {M} and {S} populations, but they present different dynamics of population. {T}hese variations are probably attributable to different breeding conditions.},
