  abstract = {{M}alaria remains a major public health problem in {M}adagascar as it is the first cause of morbidity in health care facilities {I}ts transmission remains poorly documented {A}n entomological study was carried out over 1 year ({O}ctober 2003-{S}eptember 2004) in {S}aharevo a village located at an altitude of 900 m on the eastern edge of the {M}alagasy central highlands {M}osquitoes were sampled weekly upon landing on human volunteers and in various resting-places {O}ut of 5515 mosquitoes collected on humans 3219 (58 4%) were anophelines {E}leven anopheline species were represented among which {A}nopheles funestus {A}nopheles gambiae {A}nopheles arabiensis and {A}nopheles mascarensis {O}ut of 677 mosquitoes collected in bedrooms by pyrethrum spray catches and in {M}uirhead-{T}homson pits 656 (96 9%) were anopheline belonging to these four latter species {T}he proportion of mosquitoes that fed on human varied according to the resting-places and the mosquito species 86% of {A}n funestus resting in bedrooms fed on humans whereas only 16% of {A}n funestus and 0% of {A}n mascarensis resting in pits fed on humans {T}he proportion of anopheline mosquitoes infected with human {P}lasmodium was measured by circumsporozoite protein-{ELISA} 10/633 {A}n funestus (1 58%) 1/211 {A}n gambiae s l (048%) and 2/268 {A}n mascarensis (075%) {T}he annual entomological inoculation rate (number of bites of infected anophelines per adult) was estimated at 2 78 {T}he transmission was mainly due to {A}n funestus and only observed in the second half of the rainy season from {F}ebruary to {M}ay {T}hese results are discussed in the context of the current malaria vector control policy in {M}adagascar ({C}) 2010 {E}lsevier {B} {V} {A}ll rights reserved},
