Environmental changes such as dam construction may influence mosquito ecology and malaria transmission; however, entomological data from this area remain limited. This study aimed to characterize malaria vector dynamics, including species composition, blood meal sources, and sporozoite infection rates, in five villages at varying distances from the Soum dam located in the Nanoro Health District catchment area in Burkina Faso. From March 2022 to February 2023, mosquitoes were collected monthly via pyrethrum spray catches (PSCs) targeting indoor resting vectors. Mosquitoes were identified morphologically via taxonomic keys. PCR analyses were performed to identify species within the\n                    <jats:italic>Anopheles gambiae<\/jats:italic>\n                    complex, determine blood meal sources, and assess\n                    <jats:italic>Plasmodium falciparum<\/jats:italic>\n                    infection.
