Anopheles nili as the main vector of human malaria in villages of southern Cameroon

Résumé

In villages near Sanaga river, in the forest zone of south Cameroon, Aizoplzeles nili Theobald is the main species of mosquito regularly found biting man inside houses. Its densities are related to the flow level of the river. It is also the main malaria vector in terms of intensity and seasonal duration of transmission. T h e yearly malaria inoculation rate due to An.izili alone is 104 infective bites/man, varying between 3 infective bites/man in October and 20 in March. Aizoplzeles gainbiae Giles is a less important vector in the area but reached its peak in the dry season, when the Sanaga river is at its lowest level. These ! I observations underline the influence of local ecology on malaria transmission and the need for entomological studies in each situation.
