This study aimed to determine the associated Accepted factors of P. knowlesi malaria among registered malaria cases in Terengganu from 2011 to 28th June 2021 September 2019 via the Vekpro Online Database. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using registered malaria cases in Terengganu from 2011 to September 2019 extracted from the Vekpro Online database and secondary weather data from the Malaysian Meteorological Department. A total sample of 247 malaria cases [(P. knowlesi (n=187), P. falciparum (n=23), P. vivax (n=37), P. malariae (n=4), mixed infection (n=3)] were analysed. Corresponding author: The cases were grouped into P. knowlesi group (P. knowlesi, P. malariae, mixed infection) Associate Professor Dr Zaliha and non-P. knowlesi group (P. falciparum, P. vivax) for comparison of their risk factors. Ismail, Multiple Logistic Regression analysis was used to identify the associated factors. Results: Department of Public Health Medicine, Plasmodium knowlesi group contributed to 187 out of 247 (75.7%) of all malaria cases. Four Faculty of Medicine, factors were found to be significantly associated with P. knowlesi group in the final Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM), multivariable logistic regression analysis.

Conclusions: Identified significant associated factors and characteristics of the high-risk group for P. knowlesi infection can help medical and health front liners in Terengganu in early diagnosis and prompt treatment of the cases. The factors also will help in the planning and development of health interventions in targeting P. knowlesi infection. KEYWORDS: Plasmodium knowlesi, zoonosis, malaria, Terengganu INTRODUCTION As human malaria cases in Malaysia have been declining in recent years, zoonotic malaria cases, P. The emerging zoonotic malaria species, P. knowlesi has knowlesi has shown an increase in trend. According to become a new additional challenge to malaria control in the Ministry of Health data, the incidence of P. knowlesi Malaysia. Plasmodium knowlesi is usually transmitted was 854 in 2011 and 4131 in 2018. The number of between non-human primate hosts by Anopheles malaria deaths in Malaysia has also shifted from mosquitoes. However, in a background where the contributed mainly by human malaria to zoonotic parasite, vector, primate host, and humans converge, it malaria, P. knowlesi. In 2010, there were 33 malaria can cause spillover infection to humans in which animal deaths in which 29 (87.9%) were due to human malaria, to human disease transmission occurs [1]. Pig-tailed and 4 (12.1%) were due to P. knowlesi. On the contrary, macaques (Macaca nemestrina), long-tailed macaques in 2018, the number of malaria deaths were 12 cases in (Macaca fascicularis), and banded leaf monkey which were all contributed by P. knowlesi. (Presbytis melalophus) are the natural hosts of P. To date, P. knowlesi infections in humans occur knowlesi [2-4]. only as a result of animal-to-human transmission. There 23 Vol 6(2) (2021) 23-35 | jchs-medicine.uitm.edu.my | eISSN 0127-984X https://doi.org/10.24191/jchs.v6i2.13052 Plasmodium knowlesi Malaria in Terengganu is no proof that natural human-to-human transmission specific background. Although several studies on the has occurred, although it has been confirmed in a risk factors for P. knowlesi had been done previously, laboratory setting [5]. However, the possibility that P. almost all studies related to risk factors were knowlesi being transmitted naturally from human to concentrated in Borneo, East Malaysia. The primary human does exist due to parasite adaptation and change vectors in Borneo are from a different complex of the with time [6, 7]. Hence it is very crucial to recognize Leucosphyrus group of Anopheles (An.) mosquitoes associated factors for P. knowlesi infections among from peninsular Malaysia. Anopheles cracens, from the humans. Dirus Complex, is the primary vector of P. knowlesi in Grigg, Cox, et al.

In Four domains of independent variable namely Terengganu, there has been an increase in P. knowlesi sociodemographic, occupational, disease profile, and cases in recent years. In 2015, there were only six cases, environmental were compared between the P. knowlesi and the number of cases kept on increasing to 38 cases group and non-P. knowlesi group.
