This scoping review provides a comprehensive evaluation of lymphatic filariasis vectors within the Southeast Asian region from 2000 to 2025. The research identifies a significant geographical bias, as over 80% of the identified studies originated from Thailand and Indonesia, leaving major data gaps in other neighbouring countries. Methodologically, the literature reveals that the human landing catch method remains the primary approach for sampling mosquitoes. while dissection is the most common technique for detecting parasites. The authors highlight the need for integrated vector management and more modem surveillance technologies to meet the World Health Organization (WHO) 2030 elimination targets. Ultimately, these findings aim to guide regional surveilance by mapping the behaviours and habitats of five distinct mosquito genera responsible for disease transmission.
