This study aims to assess and compare the prevalence of circumsporozoite protein (CSP) antibodies of Pf and P. vivax (Pv) in Anopheles gambiae s.l. in Benin. For that, mosquito collections were performed through human landing catches (HLC) and pyrethrum spray catches (PSC). The collected mosquitoes were morphologically identified, and Pf, Pv 210, and Pv 247 CSP antibodies were sought in An. gambiae s.l. through the ELISA and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) techniques. Of the 32,773 collected mosquitoes, 20.9% were An. gambiae s.l., 3.9% An. funestus gr., and 0.6% An. nili gr. In An. gambiae s.l., the sporozoite rate was 2.6% (95% CI: 2.1\u20133.1) for Pf, against 0.30% (95% CI: 0.1\u20130.5) and 0.2% (95% CI: 0.1\u20130.4), respectively, for Pv 210 and Pv 247. P. falciparum sporozoite positive mosquitoes were mostly An. gambiae (64.35%), followed by An. coluzzii (34.78%) and An. arabiensis (0.86%). At the opposite, for the Pv 210 sporozoite-positive mosquitoes, An. coluzzii and An. gambiae accounted for 76.92% and 23.08%, respectively. Overall, the present study shows that P. falciparum is not the only Plasmodium species involved in malaria cases in Benin.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/insects14030231","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,27]],"date-time":"2023-02-27T02:10:46Z","timestamp":1677463846000},"page":"231","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Evidence of Transmission of Plasmodium vivax 210 and Plasmodium vivax 247 by Anopheles gambiae and An. coluzzii, Major Malaria Vectors in Benin\/West Africa"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6387-6523","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Razaki A.","family":"Oss\u00e8","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Ecole de Gestion et d\u2019Exploitation des Syst\u00e8mes d\u2019Elevage, Universit\u00e9 Nationale d\u2019Agriculture, K\u00e9tou BP 44, Benin"},{"name":"Centre de Recherche Entomologique de Cotonou, Minist\u00e8re de la Sant\u00e9, Cotonou 06 BP 2604, Benin"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fil\u00e9mon","family":"Tokponnon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre de Recherche Entomologique de Cotonou, Minist\u00e8re de la Sant\u00e9, Cotonou 06 BP 2604, Benin"},{"name":"Ecole Polytechnique d\u2019Abomey Calavi, Universit\u00e9 d\u2019Abomey-Calavi, Abomey-Calavi 01 BP 526, Benin"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Germain Gil","family":"Padonou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre de Recherche Entomologique de Cotonou, Minist\u00e8re de la Sant\u00e9, Cotonou 06 BP 2604, Benin"},{"name":"Facult\u00e9 des Sciences et Techniques, Universit\u00e9 d\u2019Abomey-Calavi, Abomey-Calavi 01 BP 526, Benin"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mariette E.","family":"Glitho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Facult\u00e9 des Sciences et Techniques, Universit\u00e9 d\u2019Abomey-Calavi, Abomey-Calavi 01 BP 526, Benin"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aboubakar","family":"Sidick","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre de Recherche Entomologique de Cotonou, Minist\u00e8re de la Sant\u00e9, Cotonou 06 BP 2604, Benin"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ars\u00e8ne","family":"Fassinou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre de Recherche Entomologique de Cotonou, Minist\u00e8re de la Sant\u00e9, Cotonou 06 BP 2604, Benin"},{"name":"Facult\u00e9 des Sciences et Techniques, Universit\u00e9 d\u2019Abomey-Calavi, Abomey-Calavi 01 BP 526, Benin"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Come Z.","family":"Koukpo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre de Recherche Entomologique de Cotonou, Minist\u00e8re de la Sant\u00e9, Cotonou 06 BP 2604, Benin"},{"name":"Facult\u00e9 des Sciences et Techniques, Universit\u00e9 d\u2019Abomey-Calavi, Abomey-Calavi 01 BP 526, Benin"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bruno","family":"Akinro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre de Recherche Entomologique de Cotonou, Minist\u00e8re de la Sant\u00e9, Cotonou 06 BP 2604, Benin"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Arthur","family":"Sovi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre de Recherche Entomologique de Cotonou, Minist\u00e8re de la Sant\u00e9, Cotonou 06 BP 2604, Benin"},{"name":"Facult\u00e9 d\u2019Agronomie, Universit\u00e9 de Parakou, Parakou BP 123, Benin"},{"name":"Faculty of Infectious and Tropical Diseases, The London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, London WC1E 7HT, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Martin","family":"Akogb\u00e9to","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre de Recherche Entomologique de Cotonou, Minist\u00e8re de la Sant\u00e9, Cotonou 06 BP 2604, Benin"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"WHO (2021).
