  abstract = {{T}he international borders of {T}hailand are well recognized as areas with high malaria transmission risk. {A}lthough {S}isaket {P}rovince, bordering {C}ambodia, is recognized as a malaria-prone area, major progress towards malaria elimination has been made. {I}n fact, this province was ranked as having high malaria incidence in {T}hailand decades ago, increasing its potential for malaria re-establishment. {T}o devise a re-establishment strategy, this work investigated the spatio-temporal dynamics of {A}nopheles and examined the malariogenic potential of villages in {S}isaket {P}rovince. {H}uman landing catches ({HLC}s) were recorded to collect adult mosquitoes from village and rubber-forest ecotypes between 18.00 and 06.00 h. {T}he collection was conducted for two years based on four consecutive nights per season in the rainy, cool-dry, and hot-dry seasons during {J}uly 2022-{M}arch 2024, for a total of 24 nights. {B}ased on the results, {A}nopheles dirus s.s. was the primary malaria vector and predominant in the rubber-forest areas, where positive larval habitats were found. {I}ts biting peaks were observed between 21.00 and 22.00 h across seasons and years. {T}he abundance of {A}n. dirus was correlated positively with the amount of rainfall at two months ({R} = 0.89) and three months ({R} = 0.95) after the rainfall. {T}herefore, public health interventions to prevent outdoor biting should target rubber tappers and forest-goers two-three months after the rainy season. {I}n addition, risk assessment of malaria re-establishment suggested a high potential based on the malariogenic potential scores. {T}hus, ongoing action is important to control any re-establishment to achieve sustainable malaria elimination in {S}isaket {P}rovince.},
