  abstract = {{A}n unprecedented malaria outbreak occurred in {U}bon {R}atchathani {P}rovince, northeastern {T}hailand, in 2014. {T}he province showed the highest number of malaria cases of all {T}hai provinces. {F}ive entomological surveys were conducted at 8 sentinel sites from {S}eptember 2013 to {S}eptember 2015 to address the role of different {A}nopheles species in malaria transmission. {M}osquito collections were conducted using human landing catches and cow bait. {A} total of 10,369 {A}nopheles mosquitoes were collected and 2,240 were morphologically identified as potential malaria vectors, including {A}n. dirus (n = 78), {A}n. minimus (n = 18), {A}n. sawadwongporni (n = 4), {A}n. barbirostris s.l. (n = 819), {A}n. philippinensis (n = 612), {A}n. nivipes (n = 676), {A}n. annularis (n = 42), {A}n. aconitus (n = 7), and {A}n. rampae (n = 142). {R}eal-time polymerase chain reaction was used to screen for the presence of {P}lasmodium spp. in salivary glands. {T}he proportion of primary vectors of surveyed villages was very low (<1%), and no {P}lasmodium-infected specimens were detected among in the 2,240 {A}nopheles mosquitoes tested. {T}he absence of positive {P}lasmodium samples during malaria outbreaks suggests that malaria transmission most likely occurred outside the villages, particularly in the deep-forested hilly areas that provided suitable habitats for competent malaria vectors. {T}hese results emphasize the need to develop vector control related to village community activities to reduce malaria transmission along {T}hailand border areas.},
