In order io gel an accurate measure of malaria transmission by mean of human bait attraction, three methods of catches far human-bail mosquitoes were compared in a Cameroonian village of high anopheline density. These three methods were 1) the classical human landing catches where the man was in the same time bait and catcher, 2) the single-nets which acted as a trap and 3) the double-nets where the outer nei acted as a trap and the inner avoided mosquito bites. The anopheline densities per man with human landings were 1.6 time higher than those obtained with single-nets, these later being 4.7 times higher than those obtained with double-nets. in the three methods, the results were similar for the anophelines species catched and for their respective proportions. The samples of Anopheles nili and An. gambiae had comparative parity rates and sporozoitic indexes. From these results, in order io estimate the malaria transmission ii con be envisaged io change the standard human-bait catch for the human-bailed single bed-net catch, on the contrary the double-net have to be discarded because of their poor results.
