Abstract

Background

To reduce malaria transmission through vector control, alternative measures are necessary as transgenic mosquitoes are resistant to Plasmodium[1] and sterile insect technique (SIT) [2]. Both approaches require a fine understanding of the biology of reproduction of Anopheles gambiae complex. This study aims to characterize the swarm structure and several environmental parameters associated with distribution of breeding swams and sites in the south of Benin.
