Journal Article
Human biting rhythm of Anopheles gambiae Giles, 1902 (Diptera: Culicidae) and sleeping behaviour of pregnant women in a lagoon area in Southern Benin
2021
Overview
Objective
In 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 Benin, the behaviour of pregnant women relative to the time they go to bed using the net were recorded. Malaria vectors biting rhythm,
Plasmodium falciparum
infection and insecticide resistance genes in malaria vectors were also determined.
Results
Overall, 3848 females of
Anopheles gambiae s. l
were collected and 280 pregnant women responded to the survey. Almost all
Anopheles gambiae s. l.
tested were
Anopheles coluzzi
Coetzee and Wilkerson 2013 (Diptera: Culicidae). The CSP index in malaria vector was 1.85% and the allelic frequency of
kdr
gene was 74.4%. Around 90% of bites and
Plasmodium falciparum
Welch, 1897 (Haemosporida: Plasmodiidae) 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. Despite 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.
