This data release includes whole genome sequences from 540 An. dirus mosquitoes collected from different sites across Bangladesh, Cambodia and Thailand. These were collected during field studies led by Dr. Brandy St. Laurent in collaboration with the National Center for Parasitology, Entomology, and Malaria Control (CNM) Cambodia and the NIH NIAID Laboratory of Malaria and Vector Research. These collections were done between 2017 and 2020. Multiple Anopheles species were collected in each of these studies, including the An. dirus. s.l. specimens that have been included in this study. All mosquitoes were sequenced using Illumina technology with 150bp long reads by the Wellcome Sanger Institute Parasite and Microbes Programme.
