Following intensive control measures, malaria was eradicated from La Réunion Island (Indian Ocean) in 1979. However, potential vectors remain in coastal areas and, each year Public Health Services detect some imported cases from surrounding countries. Anopheles arabiensis is the only species which can be responsible for local transmission though its brief life cycle and its exophilic and zoophilic behaviour were found to be key elements in maintaining the eradication status of the disease on the island. Its vectorial capacity was measured at different seasons and in different areas with a view to assessing the health risks due to imported malaria and suggesting a more pertinent strategy of vector control.
