  abstract = {{B}ackground{T}o sustain the efficacy of malaria vector control, the {W}orld {H}ealth {O}rganization ({WHO}) recommends the combination of effective tools. {B}efore designing and implementing additional strategies in any setting, it is critical to monitor or predict when and where transmission occurs. {H}owever, to date, very few studies have quantified the behavioural interactions between humans and {A}nopheles vectors in {A}frica. {H}ere, we characterized residual transmission in a rural area of {B}urkina {F}aso where long lasting insecticidal nets ({LLIN}) are widely used.{M}ethods{W}e analysed data on both human and malaria vectors behaviours from 27 villages to measure hourly human exposure to vector bites in dry and rainy seasons using a mathematical model. {W}e estimated the protective efficacy of {LLIN}s and characterised where (indoors vs. outdoors) and when both {LLIN} users and non-users were exposed to vector bites.{R}esults{T}he percentage of the population who declared sleeping under a {LLIN} the previous night was very high regardless of the season, with an average {LLIN} use ranging from 92.43 to 99.89%. {T}he use of {LLIN} provided >80% protection against exposure to vector bites. {T}he proportion of exposure for {LLIN} users was 29-57% after 05:00 and 0.05-12% before 20:00. {M}ore than 80% of exposure occurred indoors for {LLIN} users and the estimate reached 90% for children under 5 years old in the dry cold season.{C}onclusions{LLIN}s are predicted to provide considerable protection against exposure to malaria vector bites in the rural area of {D}iebougou. {N}evertheless, {LLIN} users are still exposed to vector bites which occurred mostly indoors in late morning. {T}herefore, complementary strategies targeting indoor biting vectors in combination with {LLIN} are expected to be the most efficient to control residual malaria transmission in this area.},
