  abstract = {{O}bjective {I}n the framework of {EVALMOUS} study aiming to assess the use and effectiveness of mosquito nets by pregnant women and other members of their household in a lagoon area in southern {B}enin, the behaviour of pregnant women relative to the time they go to bed using the net were recorded. {M}alaria vectors biting rhythm, {P}lasmodium falciparum infection and insecticide resistance genes in malaria vectors were also determined. {R}esults {O}verall, 3848 females of {A}nopheles gambiae s. l were collected and 280 pregnant women responded to the survey. {A}lmost all {A}nopheles gambiae s. l. tested were {A}nopheles coluzzi {C}oetzee and {W}ilkerson 2013 ({D}iptera: {C}ulicidae). {T}he {CSP} index in malaria vector was 1.85% and the allelic frequency of kdr gene was 74.4%. {A}round 90% of bites and {P}lasmodium falciparum {W}elch, 1897 ({H}aemosporida: {P}lasmodiidae) transmission occurred between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., which coincides with the period when more than 80% of pregnant women were under bednet. {D}espite a slight early evening and early morning biting activity of malaria vectors in the study area, the good use of nets might remain a useful protection tool against mosquito biting and malaria transmission.},
