A study of the prevalence and intensity of malaria transmission in the lagunar area of Benin was carried out by means of repeated cross-sectional surveys of the child population. Six areas were selected: two urban areas of Cotonou, three lagunar villages and one savanna village. Slide positive rates and prevalence of antibodies to P. falciparum sporozoites were examined in June-July 1989 (long rainy season), October-November 1989 (short rainy season) and March-April 1990 (short dry season). Parasite rates in children 2 to 9 year-old showed holoendemic malaria, in the savanna village (89.4-94.2%) and hyperendemic malaria in the lagunar zone (60.7-83.5%). Levels of P. falciparum antisporozoite antibodies were higher in the sample from the periurban sector of Ladji compared with the nearby traditional lagunar villages and lowest in children living in the central urban sector. Cotonou had higher levels of malaria transmission compared with other West African cities.
