Abstract
Background An integrated malaria vector control programme utilises three main interventions: vector control, accurate clinical diagnosis and treatment. Initiation of a vector control programme requires baseline information on vector species composition, infectivity rates of the target vector populations and susceptibilities of target vector populations to insecticides. The baseline information needed for malaria vector control is still limited in some countries, including the Republic of the Congo, and the aim of this study was to obtain this information from Pointe Noire on the Congo coast.
