Seasonal dynamics, resting behaviour and insecticide susceptibility of <i>Anopheles</i> mosquitoes across two differentially malaria-endemic regions in Ethiopia.

ABSTRACT: Information on bionomics of Anopheles species composition, seasonal dynamics and insecticide susceptibility status is important to understand malaria transmission in any particular eco-epidemiological setting and for the design of effective vector control strategies. Here, adult mosquitoes were collected using CDC light traps (CDC LTs) and human landing catches (HLC) for 17 months between June 2018 and September 2020 from Lare District of Ethiopia. Larvae and pupae of anopheline mosquitoes were collected from breeding sites of Lare District and Jimma and reared to adulthood. Bioassays were conducted on non-blood-fed, 3-5-day-old emerged adult female mosquitoes using WHO insecticide-impregnated papers. Plasmodium spp. infection in Anopheles pharoensis and An. coustan
