%X <b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Introduction:</span></b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> Lymphatic filariasis (LF) and malaria are two
vector-borne</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> diseases which parasites can simultaneously infect
human or mosquito. In Burkina Faso, studies mainly focused on the control of
these diseases independently. Hence, there is a lack of information on their
co-transmission of to both human and vector. The present study aimed at
providing baseline data </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">from endemic areas in
Burkina Faso towards a successful integrated man</span><span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">agement of both diseases. </span><b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Methods:</span></b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> The study was carried out in
six sites</span></span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> dist</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">ributed in the East,
Center-East and South-West regions of Burkina Faso. </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Data were collected
in August 2014 and September 2015. The infection rates in human and vector
populations, vector diversity, trophic and resting behavior were investigated. To
determine the disease prevalence nocturnal finger-</span></span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> </span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">p</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">rick blood sample

spray collections. Bio</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">chemical and molecular analyses were performed to

rate and</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> their blood meal origins. </span><b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Results:</span></b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> Results indicate
