This spatial and temporal heterogeneity in the distribution of Anopheles mosquitos were studied during August 2001 to December 2002 in three villages Ban Khun Huay, Ban Pa Dae, and Ban Tham Seau, in northwestern Thailand in Mae Sot district, Tak Province. The three Karen villages are located about 20 km east of the city of Mae Sot near the Myanmar border. Twenty-one species were collected on human collections during 68 nights of 17 months. Anopheles minimus comprised of 86% of the specimens biting man. An. minimus was implicated as a vector based on the detection of sporozoite infections using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays for Plasmodium falciparum and P. vivax. Seasonal comparison of vectorial capacity and entomological inoculation rate was calculated. An. dirus was rarely encountered and probably played little part in transmission in these three villages during the period of study. Information is provided on nightly biting activity, parity rate, infectivity, and adult and larval bionomics. Spatial and temporal comparisons among the collections were displayed on different satellite images including the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index data from on the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration satellites (NOAA/NDVI), the LANDSAT satellite Thematic Mapper (spatial resolution 30x30 m) and the IKONOS satellite (spatial resolution 1x1 m) in a Geographical Information System (GIS).
