  abstract = {{B}ackground. {M}alaria is still a major public health concern in {C}ote d'{I}voire despite mass distribution of long-lasting insecticidal nets ({LLIN}s) as a key preventive strategy. {T}his study intended to evaluate the operational effectiveness of {LLIN}s on the level of human-vector contact using 1 antibody-based biomarker of exposure to {A}nopheles in urban areas. {M}ethods. {T}his cross-sectional study collected socio-demographic data and use of {LLIN}s from 9 neighborhoods in the city of {B}ouake ({C}ote d'{I}voire). {D}ry blood spots performed in children aged >6 months and adults were used to evaluate immunoglobulin {G} ({I}g{G}) responses to the {A}nopheles g{SG}6-{P}1 salivary peptide. {R}esults. {I}g{G} response levels to the salivary peptide were significantly lower in individuals who declared having "always" (n=270) slept under an {LLIN} compared with those who had "often" (n=2087) and "never" (n=88) slept under an {LLIN} ({P}<.0001). {I}g{G} response levels to g{SG}6-{P}1 between those who declared having "always" and "not always" slept under an {LLIN} varied according to neighborhood, socio-professional category, and age group. {C}onclusions. {T}he human {I}g{G} level to this g{SG}6-{P}1 salivary peptide could be a useful tool to evaluate the actual effectiveness of {LLIN}s and help design behavioral change interventions that are crucial for sustaining universal coverage.},
