  abstract = {{T}he implementation of long-lasting insecticidal-treated bed nets ({LLIN}s) has contributed to halving the mortality rate due to malaria since 2000 in sub-{S}aharan {A}frica. {T}hese tools are highly effective against indoor-feeding malaria vectors. {T}hus, to achieve the {W}orld {H}ealth {A}ssembly's new target to reduce the burden of malaria over the next 15 years by 90%, it is necessary to understand how the spatiotemporal dynamics of malaria vectors and human exposure to bites is modified in the context of scaling up global efforts to control malaria transmission. {T}his study was conducted in {D}ielmo, a {S}enegalese village, after the introduction of {LLIN}s and two rounds of {LLIN}s renewals. {D}ata analysis showed that implementation of {LLIN}scorrelatedwith a significant decrease in the biting densities of themainmalaria vectors, {A}nopheles gambiae s. l. and {A}nopheles funestus, reducing malaria transmission. {O}ther environment factors likely contributed to the decrease in {A}n. funestus, but this trend was enhanced with the introduction of {LLIN}s. {T}he bulk of bites occurred during sleeping hours, but the residual vector populations of {A}n. gambiae s. l. and {A}n. funestus had an increased propensity to bite outdoors, so a risk of infectious bites remained for {LLIN}s users. {T}hese results highlight the need to increase the level and correct use of {LLIN}s and to combine this intervention with complementary control measures against residual exposure, such as spatial repellents and larval source management, to achieve the goal of eliminating malaria transmission.},
