Abstract
Background The Bioko Island Malaria Control Project (BIMCP) in Equatorial Guinea started in 2004 with the goal to reduce malaria transmission and associated morbidity and mortality on Bioko Island. In 2009 the project was extended by a second 5-year term from 2009-2013. To achieve these goals a set of integrated interventions were implemented combining vector control, effective case management, improved management of malaria during pregnancy, public communication, monitoring and evaluation, and operational research. Vector control consists of indoor residual spraying (IRS) with bendiocarb and long-lasting insecticide treated bed-nets. Here we report the results from the human landing collections of 2009 on vector density, biting times, species composition, sporozoite rates, and entomological inoculation rates (EIR).
