  abstract = {{C}limatic, sociological and environmental conditions are known to affect the spatial distribution of malaria vectors and disease transmission. {I}ntensive use of insecticides in the agricultural and public health sectors exerts a strong selective pressure on resistance genes in malaria vectors. {S}patio-temporal models of favorable conditions for {A}nopheles species' presence were developed to estimate the probability of presence of malaria vectors and insecticide resistance in {L}ao {PDR}. {T}hese models were based on environmental and meteorological conditions, and demographic factors. {GIS} software was used to build and manage a spatial database with data collected from various geographic information providers. {GIS} was also used to build and run the models. {R}esults showed that potential insecticide use and therefore the probability of resistance to insecticide is greater in the southwestern part of the country, specifically in {C}hampasack province and where malaria incidence is already known to be high. {T}hese findings can help national authorities to implement targeted and effective vector control strategies for malaria prevention and elimination among populations most at risk. {R}esults can also be used to focus the insecticide resistance surveillance in {A}nopheles mosquito populations in more restricted area, reducing the area of surveys, and making the implementation of surveillance system for {A}nopheles mosquito insecticide resistance possible.},
