Feeding Behavior and Plasmodium Detection in Anopheles stephensi, a Ma-laria Vector in District Khyber, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan
<i>A. stephensi</i> in Khyber District primarily displayed anthropophagic feeding behavior, with a small portion of the population infected with <i>P. vivax</i>. The results underscore the importance of targeted vector control strategies, environmental management, community engagement and continuous monitoring to suppress malaria transmission.
