Abstract: In French Guiana, malaria vector control and prevention relies on indoor residual spraying and distribution of long lasting insecticidal nets. These measures are based on solid epidemiological evidence but reveal a poor understanding of the vector. The current study investigated the behaviour of both vectors and humans in relation to the ongoing prevention strategies. In 2012 and 2013, Anopheles mosquitoes were sampled outdoors at different seasons and in various time slots. The collected mosquitoes were ident… Show more

“…Secondly, hikes in infections may be due to environmental causes such as the exceptional rainy season in 2017 -which can raise vector density -and the impacts of increased deforestation in Amazonia [18,19]. Present and past studies show the influence of vector dynamics on malaria transmission [12,22]. In 2017, the heaviest rainfall hit the area since 2000 and may have had an impact on mosquito density [18].…”

“…In addition to An. darlingi , other Anopheles species were reported to transmit Plasmodium pathogens in this area during their blood feeding [10,41]. Moreover these malaria vectors live in sympatry with other anopheline species non-malaria vectors [40].…”

“…Anopheles adult female mosquitoes were selected from field mosquito collections done in 6 distinct sites from French Guiana, during entomological surveys, using different collection methods, over different sampling periods (Figure 1) [3,3941]. After collections, mosquitoes were sorted by genera and Anopheles mosquitoes were morphologically identified under a binocular loupe at a magnification of ×56 (Leica M80, Leica, Nanterre, France) using standard taxonomic keys for the region (Floch and Abonnenc 1951, Forattini 1962, Faran and Linthicum 1981).…”

“…Present and past studies show the influence of vector dynamics on malaria transmission [12,28]. In 2017, the heaviest rainfall hit the area since 2000; it may have had an impact on the productivity of vector breeding sites in the transitional period between the wet and the dry season, and the abundance of An.…”
