Background  This study reports an updated description on malaria vector diversity, behaviour, insecticide resistance and malaria transmission in the Diébougou and Dano peri-urban areas, Burkina Faso.    Methods  Mosquitoes were caught monthly using CDC light traps and pyrethrum spray catches. Mosquitoes were identified using morphological taxonomic keys. PCR techniques were used to identify the species of the  Anopheles gambiae  complex and insecticide resistance mechanisms in a subset of  Anopheles  vectors. The  Plasmodium  sporozoite infection status and origins of blood meals of female mosquitoes were determined by ELISA methods. Larvae were collected, breed in the insectary and tested for phenotypic resistance against four insecticides using WHO bioassays.    Results  This study contributed to update the entomological data in two peri-urban areas of Southwest Burkina Faso.  Anopheles  populations were mostly anthropophilic and endophilic in both areas and exhibit high susceptibility to an organophosphate insecticide. This offers an alternative for the control of these pyrethroid-resistant populations. These data might help the National Malaria Control Programme for decision-making about vector control planning and resistance management.    Conclusions  This study contributed to update the entomological data in two peri-urban areas of Southwest Burkina Faso.

This offers an alternative for the control of these pyrethroid-resistant populations.
