Late morning biting behaviour of Anopheles funestus is a risk factor for transmission in schools in Siaya, western Kenya

School children spend up to 10 h of their daytime in schools, reporting between 06:00 and 07:00 h and staying in school until as late as 17:00 h, meaning that they receive potentially infectious mosquito bites during the morning hours in these settings. There is a need to consider vector control approaches targeting schools and other peridomestic spaces in the morning hours when An. funestus is active.
