Declarations
:
: The protocol of the present study was reviewed and approved by the Benin’s Comité National d’Éthique pour la Recherche en Santé (N°30/MS/DC/SGM/DRFMT/CNERS/SA, Approval n°6 of 04/03/2019), and the Ethics Committee of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (16237-1). Prior to their involvement in the study, all community members and leaders provided their informed consent. At the onset of the study, collectors were trained on how to catch mosquitoes on their lower limbs while avoiding being bitten. They were also immunized against yellow fever and taken care of at the nearest health facility when they suffered from malaria or other illnesses that had similar symptoms. The study was conducted in compliance with the Helsinki Declaration, and all national health guidelines and regulations were enforced.
