A systematic review and meta-analysis of the human blood index of the major African malaria vectors

James Orsborne, Luis Furuya-Kanamori, Claire L. Jeffries…·Laith Yakob

This study systematically reviews and meta-analyzes the human blood index (HBI) of major African malaria vectors, finding higher HBI in Anopheles gambiae and An. funestus compared to An. arabiensis, with location being a stronger predictor than species.
