  abstract = {{W}ithin mosquito vector populations, infectious mosquitoes are the ones completing the transmission of pathogens to susceptible hosts and they are, consequently, of great epidemiological interest. {M}osquito infection by malaria parasites has been shown to affect several traits of mosquito physiology and behavior, and could interplay with the efficacy of control tools. {I}n this study, we evaluated, in pyrethroid resistant {A}nopheles gambiae, the effect of mosquito infection with the human malaria parasite {P}lasmodium falciparum on the efficacy of nets treated with either the insecticide deltamethrin or the repellent {DEET}, measuring (i) mosquito success to pass through the net, (ii) blood-feeding on a host and (iii) chemicals-induced mortality. {I}nfection of mosquitoes at non-infectious stage did not affect their success to pass through the net, to blood-feed, nor chemicals-induced mortality. {A}t infectious stage, depending on replicates, infected mosquitoes had higher mortality rates than uninfected mosquitoes, with stronger effect in presence of {DEET}. {T}his data evidenced a cost of infection on mosquito survival at transmissible stages of infection, which could have significant consequences for both malaria epidemiology and vector control. {T}his stresses the need for understanding the combined effects of insecticide resistance and infection on the efficacy on control tools.},
