Abstract
Potential vectors for malaria and their bionomics were studied at the Katine Htit and Kine Taw villages from Kamamaung Township, Phapun District, Kayin State, Myanmar from May 2014 to April 2015. Anopheles mosquitoes were collected from fixed mosquito catching stations with Kanda net (Knet) for animal bait. Indoor, outdoor biting catches and light trap collection methods with WHO sucking tubes and larval survey were done seasonally. Head and thorax of mosquitoes were dissected to find out Plasmodium sporozoites in salivary gland by ELISA test for conforming potential vectors. Results revealed that the major vector Anopheles minimus and secondary vectors An. culicifacies, An. maculatus, An. vagus and An annularis were occurring in all seasons, although An. minimus was observed in maximum numbers during cool season. The adults of main vector An. dirus were observed occurring in both rainy and cool seasons in both areas.
