The overwhelming diversity of the world's malaria transmission systems and optimal strategies for controlling [...] insecticidal nets and indoor residual sprays, by feeding outdoors or upon animals, are primary malaria vectors in many tropical countries. They can also dominate residual transmission where high coverage
