Anopheles (Anopheles) maculipennis labranchiae and Anopheles (Cellia) sergentii, the major vectors of malaria in Morocco, are still presents but their anthropothic index was low and no parasite positive samples were detected. An. labranchiae was very rare: only 34 females were caught over all the study period. The human biting rate was nil and none of its blood meal was human. An. sergenti was more abundant but its low human aggressiveness and its zoophilic behaviour would not attribute to this species an important vectorial capacity. Thus, the receptivity of Chefchaouen province, the region of the last malaria focus in Morocco, under the current vector control measures undertaken by Public Health services, is low and despite the likely presence of Plasmodium vivax gametocyte carriers, the malariogenic potential appears to be low and the risk of malaria resumption is, at this time, unimportant. specialized Malaria Resumption risk Anopheles labranchiae Anopheles sergenti Chefchaouen Morocco 052 109 1 70-73 2009 0001-706X https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010048296 10.1016/j.actatropica.2008.09.021 0001-706X [F B010048296] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010048296 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/2009/compl2/010048296.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2009-11-25 2017-08-23 fdi:010048296 fre
