Most studies investigating dengue transmission and control have had an urban 37 focus, while less consideration is currently given to rural settings, or where urban and rural 38 areas overlap. We examined the spatiotemporal distribution and epidemiological 39 characteristics of reported dengue cases in the predominantly rural state of Sabah, in 40 Malaysian Borneo – an area where sylvatic and urban circulation of pathogens are known to 41 intersect. We found that annual dengue incidence rates were spatially variable over the 7- 42 year study period from 2010-2016 (state-wide mean annual incidence of 21 cases/100,000 43 people; range 5-42/100,000), but were highest in rural localities in the western districts of 44 the state (Kuala Penyu, Nabawan, Tenom and Kota Marudu). The eastern districts exhibited 45 lower overall dengue rates; however, we noted a concentration of severe (haemorrhagic) 46 dengue cases (44%) in Sandakan and Tawau districts. Dengue incidence was slightly higher 47 for males than females, and was significantly higher for both genders aged between 10 and 48 29 years (24/100,000; p=0.029). The largest ever recorded outbreaks occurred during 2015- 49 2016, with the vector Aedes albopictus found to be most prevalent in both urban and rural 50 households (House Index of 64%), compared with Ae. Aegypti (15%). These findings suggest 51 that dengue outbreaks in Sabah are driven by the sporadic expansion of dengue virus in both 52 urban and rural settings. This may require tailoring of preventative strategies to suit 53 different transmission ecologies across Sabah. Further studies to better understand the 54 drivers of dengue in Sabah may aid dengue control efforts in Malaysia, and more broadly in 55 South East Asia. 2 bioRxiv preprint doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/657031; this version posted May 31, 2019.

We 60 conducted the first retrospective analysis of dengue epidemiology in the predominantly rural 61 state of Sabah, Malaysia, where both urban and sylvatic transmission cycles exist. Human 62 notification data over a 7-year period were reviewed and spatiotemporal and demographic 63 risk factors identified. We found: 64 1. Urban habitats and population density are not the only determinants mediating the 65 spread of epidemic dengue in Sabah. Case from both urban and rural localities 66 contributed equally to dengue outbreaks. 67 2. Human demographic risk factors included being aged between 10 and 29 years, and 68 being male. 69 3. High incidence areas for dengue do not predict the occurrence of severe dengue. Severe 70 dengue was largely localised to lower incidence districts in the east of the state. 71 4. The sole presence of Aedes albopictus in and around the majority of urban and rural 72 case households suggests that this vector may play a major role in facilitating outbreaks. 73 A complex interplay of risk factors likely mediates dengue transmission in Sabah, influenced 74 by both regional climate trends and localised human and ecological influences. This study 75 emphasises that the increasing spread of dengue in urban South East Asia is also mirrored in 76 more rural areas, and suggests a need for control strategies that address both urban and 77 rural dengue risk. 78 3 bioRxiv preprint doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/657031; this version posted May 31, 2019.

Now endemic in more than 100 countries, the 83 disease causes an enormous burden on communities and health care systems in tropical and 84 sub-tropical regions (2). The causative agent of dengue is dengue virus (DENV), transmitted 85 between humans by Aedes mosquitoes across a range of domestic and sylvatic 86 environments. Urban expansion, human migration, travel and trade have facilitated an 87 increasing number of infections, primarily in Asia, Africa and the Americas (3, 4). These areas 88 experience up to 70% of the estimated 390 million annual dengue infections worldwide (1, 89 4). Explosive outbreaks have become common in recent decades, and both classical and 90 severe (haemorrhagic) forms of dengue now occur in previously unaffected countries (1, 3, 91 5). South East Asia has one of the highest burdens of dengue, following marked increases in 92 the number, severity and geographical distribution of dengue epidemics since the 1950s. 93 During this dramatic expansion, the four virus serotypes (DENV 1-4) have become well- 94 established and commonly co-circulate within the region (6). 95 In Malaysia, dengue has been considered a major public health problem since 1973 (7), with 96 regular epidemics resulting in significant morbidity and economic burden (8, 9). The majority 97 of reported cases are concentrated in the large, urban cities of Kuala Lumpur and Penang, 98 which are located on the Malaysian peninsula. The circulation of all DENV serotypes has 99 been documented across the country, as well as the presence of unique sylvatic strains (10- 100 12). As with many South East Asian countries, the characterisation and control of 101 transmission in Malaysia is primarily focused on highly populated urban areas (13). The 102 majority of spatial and eco-epidemiological studies to date have therefore focused on 4 bioRxiv preprint doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/657031; this version posted May 31, 2019.

The island possesses rapidly developing urban areas in close 108 proximity to disturbed forest environments, with potential risk of spill-over of sylvatic 109 pathogens to human populations (15). Sabah state, positioned on the northern tip of 110 Borneo, reports the highest incidence of the sylvatic malaria parasite Plasmodium knowlesi, 111 with transmission risk linked to deforestation (16, 17). The emergence of other zoonotic 112 pathogens has also been documented in Sabah (18, 19), including Zika virus in 2015 (20). 113 Given the marked environmental change occurring in Sabah, and the increase in dengue 114 cases noted in recent years (12, 14), it is essential from a public health perspective to 115 understand current transmission patterns and their drivers. This study examined the 116 epidemiology of dengue in the state of Sabah, in Malaysian Borneo, between 2010 and 2016. 117 We aimed to document recent spatial and temporal trends of dengue disease, and to 118 identify some potential risk factors driving DENV transmission and spread in this 119 understudied region of the country. 120 121 Methods 122 123 Ethics statement 124 This study was approved by the Medical Research and Ethics Committee (MREC), Ministry of 125 Health Malaysia; and the Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC) of the QIMR Berghofer 5 bioRxiv preprint doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/657031; this version posted May 31, 2019.

  • Active Tectonics in Sabah – Seismicity and Active Faults Felix Tongkul
    Bulletin of the Geological Society of Malaysia, Volume 64, December 2017, pp. 27 – 36 Active tectonics in Sabah – seismicity and active faults Felix Tongkul Natural Disaster Research Centre (NDRC), Universiti Malaysia Sabah, 88400, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah Email address: [email protected] Abstract: The location of Sabah near the boundaries of three major tectonic plates, the Eurasian, India-Australia and Philippine-Pacific plates, makes it prone to seismic activities. Sabah is currently under a WNW-ESE compressive stress regime due to the effect of plate movements as the Philippine-Pacific plate move westward at the rate of about 10 cm/ year against the southeast moving Eurasian plate at the rate of about 5 cm/year. The WNW-ESE compression is being accommodated by NE-SW trending active thrust faults and NW-SE trending active strike-slip faults present all over Sabah. Evidence of active faults based on geomorphological features, such as linear structures associated with triangular facets, stream offsets, mud volcanoes and hot springs are widespread in Sabah.The WNW-ESE compression resulted in regional folding or warping of the upper crust to produce an uplifted belt trending NE-SW in Western Sabah, currently occupied by the Crocker-Trusmadi Range. The warping and uplift of the upper crust is thought to be driving extensional tectonics, marked by the presence of NE-SW trending active normal faults along the crest and flanks of the Crocker- Trusmadi Range anticlinorium. At least six elongate Quaternary graben-like basins (Tenom, Keningau, Tambunan, Ranau, Timbua and Marak-Parak) occur along the crest of the anticlinorium.

  • Assessment of Tsunami Hazard in Sabah – Level of Threat, Constraints and Future Work Felix Tongkul*, Rodeano Roslee, Ahmad Khairut Termizi Mohd Daud
    Bulletin of the Geological Society of Malaysia, Volume 70, November 2020, pp. 1 - 15 DOI: https://doi.org/10.7186/bgsm70202001 Assessment of tsunami hazard in Sabah – Level of threat, constraints and future work Felix Tongkul*, Rodeano Roslee, Ahmad Khairut Termizi Mohd Daud Natural Disaster Research Centre (NDRC) Universiti Malaysia Sabah, 88400, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia * Corresponding author email address: [email protected] Abstract: The coastal areas of Sabah are exposed to far-field earthquake-induced tsunamis that could be generated along the trenches of Manila, Negros, Sulu, Cotabato, Sangihe and North Sulawesi. Tsunami simulation models from these trenches indicated that tsunami waves can reach the coast of Sabah between 40 and 120 minutes with tsunami wave heights reaching up to 3 m near the coast. The level of tsunami threat is high in southeast Sabah due to its narrow continental shelf and proximity to tsunami source in the North Sulawesi Trench. The level of tsunami threat is moderate in north and east Sabah due to their proximity to tsunami source in the Sulu Trench. The level of tsunami threat is low in west Sabah due to its distant location to tsunami source from the Manila Trench. While tsunamis cannot be prevented, its impact on human life and property can be reduced through proper assessment of its threat using tsunami simulation models. Unfortunately, constraints remain in producing a reliable tsunami inundation models due to the lack of high-resolution topography and bathymetry data in Sabah and surrounding seas. It would be helpful if such data can be acquired by the relevant government agencies, at least first, in high threat-level areas, such as Tawau and Semporna districts.

A total of nine local authorities were studied. Data was mainly obtained from interviews, observations and written sources. The variation in the Campaign implementation progress can be explained in term of campaign internalization among local authority top leadership. Internalization is reflected in the understanding of the campaign and priority of local government top leaderships observed in their actions, choice of words and activities. In addition, the structure of the local authority also influenced implementation progress. © 2013 The Authors.

  • The Paleogene Basins of Sabah, East Malaysia
    AAPG II/fertli/fumal Cu4ermc( d EYhibifum '94 AJ/g/l.lf21-24, 1994, KJ/ala Lumpur, Maltzy"iLl The Paleogene basins of Sabah, East Malaysia F. TONGKUL Earth Science Department Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Sabah Campus Locked Bag No. 62, 88996 Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia Abstract: The Paleogene basins of Sabah developed in two stages, represented by early and late Paleogene sediments, in association with NW-SE compressional deformation during the late Mesozoic and Middle Eocene. The earlier deformation produced a wide elongate basin trending NE-SW bordered by a continental block to the NW and an emergent oceanic basement to the SE. The basin became the depositional sites of shallow to deep water early Paleogene sediments. The later deformation divided the earlier basin into two parallel basins (Outer and Inner basins) also trending NE-SW. Both basins were independently filled by shallow to deep water late Paleogene sediments derived axially from the southwest and laterally from the northwest and southeast. These basins were finally closed during the early Miocene resulting in the Paleogene fold-thrust belt of Sabah. INTRODUCTION Sea oceanic crust in the SE (Fig. 1). The sediments covers most of western, northern and central Sabah The Paleogene basins of Sabah here refers to while in eastern Sabah the sediments are not clearly the depositional sites of thick Paleogene sediments mapped out due to the presence of extensive melange forming the mountainous belt of Sabah. Unlike deposits (Fig. 2). The Paleogene sediments continue most of the younger basins, the configuration of the southward onland into Sarawak and NE Paleogene basins were not preserved but greatly Kalimantan (Hamilton, 1979; Hutchison, 1989) and modified by compressional tectonics.

Sabah and Sarawak cover the northern coast of the island. The lower two‐thirds of Borneo is Kalimantan, which belongs to Indonesia. The area has a fascinating history, and probably because it is on one of the main trade routes through South East Asia, Borneo has had many masters. Sabah and Sarawak were incorporated into the Federation of Malaysia in 1963 and Malaysia is now regarded a safe and orderly Islamic country. Sabah has a diverse ethnic population of just over 3 million people with 32 recognised ethnic groups. The largest of these is the Malays (these include the many different cultural groups that originally existed in their own homeland within Sabah), Chinese and “non‐official immigrants” (mainly Filipino and Indonesian). In recent centuries piracy was common here, but it is now generally considered relatively safe for cruising. However, the nearby islands of Southern Philippines have had some problems with militant fundamentalist Muslim groups – there have been riots and violence on Mindanao and the Tawi Tawi Islands and isolated episodes of kidnapping of people from Sabah in the past 10 years or so.
