The relationship between malaria entomological indices and epidemiological outcomes remains poorly understood at local scales in western Kenya, limiting evidence-based surveillance strategies. This study evaluated associations between vector densities, entomological inoculation rates (EIR), human biting rates (HBR), and malaria test positivity rates in a high-transmission setting. The study was conducted in five villages within Teso South sub-County, Busia County, Kenya, from March to June 2021....
