  abstract = {{B}aseline entomological surveys were conducted in four sentinel sites along the {T}hailand-{M}yanmar border to address vector bionomics and malaria transmission in the context of a study on malaria elimination. {A}dult {A}nopheles mosquitoes were collected using human-landing catch and cow-bait collection in four villages during the rainy season from {M}ay-{J}une, 2013. {M}osquitoes were identified to species level by morphological characters and by {AS}-{PCR}. {S}porozoite indexes were determined on head/thoraces of primary and secondary malaria vectors using real-time {PCR}. {A} total of 4,301 anopheles belonging to 12 anopheline taxa were identified. {A}nopheles minimus represented >98% of the {M}inimus {C}omplex members (n=1,683), whereas the {A}n. maculatus group was composed of two dominant species, {A}n. sawadwongporni and {A}n. maculatus. {O}verall, 25 {P}lasmodium-positive mosquitoes (of 2,323) were found, representing a sporozoite index of 1.1% [95%{CI} 0.66-1.50]. {T}he transmission intensity as measured by the {EIR} strongly varied according to the village ({ANOVA}, {F}=17.67, df= 3, {P}<0.0001). {O}ur findings highlight the diversity and complexity of the biting pattern of malaria vectors along the {T}hailand-{M}yanmar border that represent a formidable challenge for malaria control and elimination.},
