  abstract = {{A} better understanding of malaria transmission at a local scale is essential for developing and implementing effective control strategies. {I}n the framework of a randomized controlled trial ({RCT}), we aimed to provide an updated description of malaria transmission in the {K}orhogo area, northern {C}ote d'{I}voire, and to obtain baseline data for the trial. {W}e performed human landing collections ({HLC}s) in 26 villages in the {K}orhogo area during the rainy season ({S}eptember-{O}ctober 2016, {A}pril-{M}ay 2017) and the dry season ({N}ovember-{D}ecember 2016, {F}ebruary-{M}arch 2017). {W}e used {PCR} techniques to ascertain the species of the {A}nopheles gambiae complex, {P}lasmodium falciparum sporozoite infection, and insecticide resistance mechanisms in a subset of {A}nopheles vectors. {A}nopheles gambiae s.l. was the predominant malaria vector in the {K}orhogo area. {O}verall, more vectors were collected outdoors than indoors (p < 0.001). {O}f the 774 {A}n. gambiae s.l. tested in the laboratory, 89.65% were {A}n. gambiae s.s. and 10.35% were {A}n. coluzzii. {T}he frequencies of the kdr allele were very high in {A}n. gambiae s.s. but the ace-1 allele was found at moderate frequencies. {A}n unprotected individual living in the {K}orhogo area received an average of 9.04, 0.63, 0.06 and 0.12 infected bites per night in {S}eptember-{O}ctober, {N}ovember-{D}ecember, {F}ebruary-{M}arch, and {A}pril-{M}ay, respectively. {T}hese results demonstrate that the intensity of malaria transmission is extremely high in the {K}orhogo area, especially during the rainy season. {M}alaria control in highly endemic areas such as {K}orhogo needs to be strengthened with complementary tools in order to reduce the burden of the disease.},
