Anophelesbionomics, insecticide resistance mechanisms and malaria transmission in the Korhogo area, northern Côte d’Ivoire: a pre-intervention study

Abstract

Background: A better understanding of malaria transmission at a local scale is essential for developing and implementing effective control strategies. In the frame of a randomized control trial, we aimed to provide an updated description of malaria transmission in the Korhogo area, northern Côte d'Ivoire, and to get baseline data for the trial. Methods:We performed Human Landing Collections in 26 villages in the Korhogo area during the rainy season
