A better understanding of malaria transmission at a local scale is essential for developing and implementing effective control strategies. In the framework of a randomized controlled trial (RCT), we aimed to provide an updated description of malaria transmission in the Korhogo area, northern Côte d’Ivoire, and to obtain baseline data for the trial. We performed human landing collections (HLCs) in 26 villages in the Korhogo area during the rainy season (September–October 2016, April–May 2017) and the dry season (November–December 2016, February–March 2017). We used PCR techniques to ascertain the species of the  Anopheles gambiae  complex,  Plasmodium falciparum  sporozoite infection, and insecticide resistance mechanisms in a subset of  Anopheles  vectors.  Anopheles gambiae s.l.  was the predominant malaria vector in the Korhogo area. Overall, more vectors were collected outdoors than indoors ( p  < 0.001). Of the 774  An. gambiae s.l.  tested in the laboratory, 89.65% were  An. gambiae s.s.  and 10.35% were  An. coluzzii . The frequencies of the  kdr  allele were very high in  An. gambiae s.s.  but the  ace-1  allele was found at moderate frequencies. An unprotected individual living in the Korhogo area received an average of 9.04, 0.63, 0.06 and 0.12 infected bites per night in September–October, November–December, February–March, and April–May, respectively. These results demonstrate that the intensity of malaria transmission is extremely high in the Korhogo area, especially during the rainy season. Malaria control in highly endemic areas such as Korhogo needs to be strengthened with complementary tools in order to reduce the burden of the disease.
