  abstract = {{B}ackground: {M}alaria control is mainly based on indoor residual spraying and insecticide-treated bed nets. {T}he efficacy of these tools depends on the behaviour of mosquitoes, which varies by species. {W}ith resistance to insecticides, mosquitoes adapt their behaviour to ensure their survival and reproduction. {T}he aim of this study was to assess the biting behaviour of {A}nopheles funestus after the implementation of long-lasting insecticidal nets ({LLIN}s). {M}ethods: {A} study was conducted in {D}ielmo, a rural {S}enegalese village, after a second massive deployment of {LLIN}s in {J}uly 2011. {A}dult mosquitoes were collected by human landing catch and by pyrethrum spray catch monthly between {J}uly 2011 and {A}pril 2013. {A}nophelines were identified by stereomicroscope and sub-species by {PCR}. {T}he presence of circumsporozoite protein of {P}lasmodium falciparum and the blood meal origin were detected by {ELISA}. {R}esults: {A}nopheles funestus showed a behavioural change in biting activity after introduction of {LLIN}s, remaining anthropophilic and endophilic, while adopting diurnal feeding, essentially on humans. {S}ix times more {A}n. funestus were captured in broad daylight than at night. {O}nly one infected mosquito was found during day capture. {T}he mean of day {CSP} rate was 1.28% while no positive {A}n. funestus was found in night captures. {C}onclusion: {M}osquito behaviour is an essential component for assessing vectorial capacity to transmit malaria. {T}he emergence of new behavioural patterns of mosquitoes may significantly increase the risk for malaria transmission and represents a new challenge for malaria control. {A}dditional vector control strategies are, therefore, necessary.},
