Seasonal abundance, host seeking and resting behaviours of Anopheles gambiae and An. funestus complexes in Mazowe and Shamva districts, Zimbabwe
Malaria vectors are circumventing current control measures by biting people when they are not protected by ITNs and resting in outdoor areas or indoor structures where insecticides are not applied. Supplementary interventions, including larval source management (LSM) and repellents, are required to reduce the risks of residual malaria transmission.
