The South China Sea is a major water body containing a large and diverse fish fauna. However, many areas of the South China Sea, particularly in Malaysia and Vietnam, have been poorly studied in terms of fish taxonomy and diversity. Local fish scientists and students have frequently faced difficulty when try- ing to identify fishes in their home countries.

  • 1 SDC 5: Systematic Review of Prospective, Hospital-Based
    SDC 5: Systematic review of prospective, hospital-based rotavirus studies in Malaysia We conducted a systematic search of prospective hospital-based rotavirus (RV) surveillance studies in Malaysia. A meta-analysis was conducted to obtain pooled RV-detection proportions for acute gastroenteritis (AG) hospitalizations. Methods A systematic search was conducted to select studies conducted in Malaysia that comply with WHO recommendations for hospital-based RV surveillance [6]. Criteria for eligibility were as follows: (i) prospective, hospital-based study (ii) at least one year duration, (iii) conducted in Malaysia, (iv) on children under the age of 5 years, (v) stool tested for RV with an enzyme immunoassay test. The literature was searched systematically to locate published articles in three databases (PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science). Search terms used were ‘rotavirus’ AND (‘gastroenteritis OR ‘diarrhoea’ OR ‘diarrhea’) AND ‘Malaysia’. The search was limited to English language publications. Citation search and consultation with experts were conducted to identify additional publications. After removing duplicates, titles and abstracts were screened to identify prospective, hospital- based RV studies. Subsequently, full text articles were read to identify studies meeting the eligibility criteria for inclusion in the meta-analysis. A DerSimonian and Laird random-effects model [7] was used to pool outcomes from each individual study site and calculate the mean and 95% Confidence Interval (CI) for RV-detection proportion. 1 Results The systematic search of three databases provided a total of 94 citations; 39 from Pubmed, 38 from Scopus and 17 from Web of Science. No further articles were identified from citation search or consultation with experts.

Over the years, many of the green areas, including mangrove vegetation have been replaced with built-up areas. The objective of this study was to determine the diversity of herpetofauna in green areas around the UMT campus. Samplings of amphibians and reptiles were conducted by using the visual encounter survey technique. A total of 237 individuals representing 22 herpetofauna species was recorded, comprising five amphibians and 19 reptiles. All of the amphibians were regarded as habitat generalist species, while the reptiles were represented by 13 generalist species and 11 habitat specialist species. These species assemblages could be the reflection of the severe degradation of natural habitats, in which the remnant mangrove forests serve as a refuge.
