Identification of the anopheline mosquito species involved in local transmission as well as knowledge of its biology and behavior is necessary for malaria vector control. To allow such study, two methods are usually used to capture adult mosquitoes, i.e., night catches on human volunteers and light-trap collections with human bait. The purpose of this article is to describe these two methods including their advantages and disadvantages as well as a method of surveying breeding sites as implemented by French Army personnel.
