An. dirus and An minimus were incriminated at first times as important vectors for malaria in mountainous areas and An. philippinensis and An. nivipes were nominated as suspicious in paddy areas. 7. As temperature is low in the dry season (Nov. to Feb.), number of adult mosquitoes collected by human baits is usually small. However, number of immature of An. minimuswas found commonly in the stream. 8. Education level of the inhabitant in Boulapha was low and their knowledge and attitudes for malaria control were low. They did not use correctly mosqauito net. 9. An. minimuswas an important vector mosquito in Udonxy district, north Lao. 10.
