title: [Entomological results of the malaria program of the Pasteur Institute in the Malagasy Highland Plateaux in 1987-1988].
abstract: An entomological survey carried out between october 1987 and july 1988 in Manarintsoa, a village 30 Km West of Antananarivo, shows that An. gambiae s.l. and An. funestus are both vectors of malaria. The sporozoite rate was estimated at 0.71%, and the annual risk about 2 infectious bites per person. In all, more than 16,000 mosquitoes, belonging to at least 15 species, were caught over a period of 294 nights.
