Despite reductions in malaria burden owing to the scale-up of effective interventions, there are concerns that long-lasting insecticidal net (LLIN) effects may not be sustained owing to widespread insecticide resistance and differential impacts of LLIN on vector species. In this study, we aimed to test the effect of different LLIN products and other environmental factors on the ecological niche of three mosquito vector species using state-of-the-art ecological niche modelling approaches.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      This study used data from a cluster randomized control trial that took place in Ti\u00e9bissou, in Central C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire.\n                      <jats:italic>Anopheles<\/jats:italic>\n                      mosquito density and\n                      <jats:italic>Plasmodium falciparum<\/jats:italic>\n                      vector infection data were available across 33 clusters.
