The purpose of our entomological survey was to estimate mosquito biodiversity, infectivity rates and insecticide resistance levels in Anopheles species in four study sites in a mining area with high malaria transmission in southeastern Guinea.Anopheles gambiae s.l. (77%)was the most common Anopheles collected followed by An. funestus (20%). The specimens of the An. gambiae complex were predominantly An. gambiae S form (97.6%) with 1.4% of An. gambiae M form found in Kerouane only, and 1% of An. arabiensis which was present in all four study sites. Anopheles gambiae S form and An. funestus were found to be infected with Plasmodium falciparum, with infectivity rates of 4.1% and 4.4% and inoculation rates of 0.60 and 0.19 infected bite/person/night, respectively. In addition, a high level (79%) of the knockdown resistance (kdr) L1014F mutation was reported in the populations of An. gambiae S form. The high malaria transmission that occurs in the prospected area of Guinea requires a long-term vector control programme. However, such a control programme will have to consider the presence of the kdr gene at a surprisingly high level within the dominant vector, which could reduce the expected impact of vector control.
