We report a measurement of the exclusive B+ meson decay to the final state Ds−K+π+ using 520×106BBˉ pairs collected near the Υ(4S) resonance, with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e− collider. Using the DS−→ϕπ− decay mode to reconstruct Ds− mesons, we obtain the branching fraction B(B+→Ds−K+π+)=(1.77−0.12+0.12(stat)±0.16(syst)±0.23(B))×10−4. We also present preliminary results of a study of the two-body DsK, Dsπ and Kπ subsystems observed in this final state.
