Few studies have examined the ecology of malaria vectors in Haiti. Five species of <jats:italic>Anopheles<\/jats:italic> have been described on the island, but the exophilic <jats:italic>Anopheles albimanus<\/jats:italic> (<jats:italic>An. albimanus<\/jats:italic>) is considered the primary vector of malaria in Haiti. Households recruited for a case\u2013control study profiling risk factors for symptomatic <jats:italic>Plasmodium falciparum<\/jats:italic> (<jats:italic>P. falciparum<\/jats:italic>) infections were approached to participate in an entomological study. The goal was to determine the bionomics of anopheline mosquitoes around the 32 participating households across varying malaria transmission settings. We assessed the characteristics of the <jats:italic>Anopheles<\/jats:italic> population using ultraviolet-light traps and larval surveys. <jats:italic>Anopheles albimanus<\/jats:italic> was the most abundant mosquito species identified in the Grand\u2019Anse. Its abundance was higher in outdoor traps than in indoor traps and in areas with relatively high positivity based on rapid diagnostic test results. A greater proportion of blood-fed mosquitoes were found in higher transmission areas. <jats:italic>Anopheles albimanus<\/jats:italic> samples were found to be infected with both <jats:italic>P. falciparum<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>Plasmodium vivax<\/jats:italic> sporozoites. As Haiti aims for the elimination of malaria, disrupting localized residual malaria transmission will increasingly rely on focal vector control strategies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.24-0478","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,25]],"date-time":"2025-02-25T21:42:11Z","timestamp":1740519731000},"page":"975-986","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Entomological
