This survey carried out from March to June 1989, demonstrated the important part of An. funestus in malaria transmission, in MAHISTY, a village near the malagasy capital city. End of March, the number of An. funestus bites reached 6 per man per night, and only 0.75 for An. gambiae s.l. In March a mean of 23 An. funestus per room were found as indoor resting mosquitoes. One indoor resting An. funestus, caught in June, was positive against P. vivax by ELISA. Observed of 52 indoor-resting An. funestus was 100%. In this village, Plasmodium indexes were 60%.
