  abstract = {{T}o better understand the influence of periodic mass distribution of {L}ong-{L}asting {I}nsecticidal {N}ets ({LLIN}s) on malaria transmission, a 1-yr entomological survey was conducted in three major districts of {C}ote d'{I}voire. {M}osquitoes were sampled by {H}uman {L}anding {C}atches ({HLC}) in urban and rural areas of {S}an {P}edro and {A}bidjan (coastal), and in {Y}amoussoukro (central). {M}osquitoes were identified morphologically and by molecular methods. {T}he {P}lasmodium falciparum circumsporozoite ({CSP}) indices were measured by {ELISA}, and the {E}ntomological {I}noculation {R}ates ({EIR}) were calculated for each species and area. {A}nopheles gambiae s.l. {G}iles ({D}iptera: {C}ulicidae) and {A}nopheles nili {T}heobald ({D}iptera: {C}ulicidae) were identified in coastal districts, while {A}n. gambiae s.l. and {A}nopheles funestus {G}iles ({D}iptera: {C}ulicidae) were reported in the central district. {I}n urban areas, malaria vectors showed a low aggressiveness (<10 bites per person per night), except in {Y}amoussoukro, where up to 18.9 b/p/n were recorded. {T}he annual {EIR} was higher in the central urban area (138.7 infected bites per person per year) than in coastal ones (10-62 ib/p/n). {I}n rural areas, malaria vectors were highly aggressive with an average 13 b/p/n for {A}n. gambiae s.l, 21.2 b/p/n for {A}n. nili and 12 b/p/n for {A}n. funestus. {T}he annual {EIR} ranged between 94.9 and 193.4 infected bites per person per year. {T}his work indicates that, despite repeated mass distribution of {LLIN}s, malaria transmission remains high and heterogeneous across {C}ote d'{I}voire. {M}alaria transmission was lower in coastal urban areas than in the central one, and remains high rural areas where two additional {A}nopheles vectors are involved in malaria transmission.},
