  abstract = {{T}he involvement of members of the {A}nopheles gambiae complex {G}iles and {A}n. funestus {G}iles and {A}n. nili {T}heobald groups in the transmission of {P}lasmodium falciparum was recently investigated in the villages of {G}batta and {K}pehiri, which lie, respectively, in forest areas in the west and south of {C}ote d'{I}voire. {A}dult female mosquitoes were collected, using human landing catches, inside and outside dwellings. {A}fter identification and dissection, the heads and thoraces of all the anopheline mosquitoes were tested, in an {ELISA}, for circumsporozoite protein ({CSP}). {A}ll the female anopheline mosquitoes collected and identified to species using {PCR} were found to be {A}n. gambiae s.s., {A}n. nili s.s. or {A}n. funestus s.s., with {A}n. gambiae s.s. and {A}n. funestus s.s. predominant in {G}batta but {A}n. nili s.s. the most common species in {K}pehiri. {I}n {G}batta, 3.1% of the female {A}n. gambiae collected, 5.0% of the female {A}n. funestus and 1.8% of the female {A}n. nili were found {CSP}-positive. {T}he corresponding values in {K}pehiri were even higher, at 5.9%, 6.2% and 2.4%, respectively. {T}he estimated entomological inoculation rates ({EIR}) were very high: 302 infected bites (139 from {A}n. gambiae, 146 from {A}n. funestus and 17 from {A}n. nili)/person-year in {G}batta and 484 infected bites (204 from {A}n. gambiae, 70 from {A}n. funestus and 210 from {A}n. nili)/person-year in {K}pehiri. {I}n {G}batta, {A}n. gambiae s.s. was responsible for most of the rainy-season transmission while {A}n. funestus became the main malaria vector in the dry seasons. {I}n {K}pehiri, however, {A}n. nili appeared to be the main vector throughout the year, with {A}n. gambiae of secondary importance and {A}n. funestus only becoming a significant vector during the rainy season. {A}lthough, in both study sites, intense transmission was therefore occurring and the same three species of anopheline mosquito were present, the relative importance of each mosquito species in the epidemiology of the human malaria at each site differed markedly.},
