Abstract: The aim of this study was to study the transmission of human malaria in the transition region between forest and savannah (Bini-Dang), during a year. We first of all, had to collect data field: To catch living mosquitoes ; then, in the laboratory after identifying and dissecting them, we had to look for, at the level of salivary glands, the presence of sporozoïts and also, at the level of ovaries, the parity of this anopheles after analysing insects caught. We arrived at the following conclusions : the carrier of transmission of malaria within the homes in this zone was Anopheles gambiae. The average of aggressive rate is 12,14 bites per human per night (bhn). The analysis of different results allowed us to note that the human bites rates for the main vector of transmission (Anopheles gambiae) varied depending on the season. The little presence of Anopheles coustani was traduced by the fact its exophile pronounced. But the transmission was independent for different seasons. So we had the maximum and minimum of transmission during the dry season (January and December, respectively).
