Mean number of mosquitoes captured in March 2014 by human landing catch per species indoors and outdoors. HEXT: mean number of mosquitoes captured outdoors; HINT: mean number of mosquitoes captured indoors. These captures were made in four houses over two nights in eight villages. For An. coustani, 38.05 % bite on humans from 18:00 to 21:00 and 05:00 to 08:00 h. Humans are not under treated mosquito nets during these times. Anopheles mascarensis, An. arabiensis and An. funestus had the standard aggressiveness over the night. Comparing the trophic behaviour, An. coustani, An. arabiensis and An. mascarensis had exophagous behaviour while An. funestus had endophagous from 18:00 to 22:00 h and exophagous from 23:00 to 07:00 h
