Symbiotic relationships are long-term, close interactions between individuals of different species that affect the distribution and abundance of those species. When a relationship is beneficial to both species, this is called mutualism. When the relationship is beneficial to one species but neither beneficial nor harmful to the other species, this is called commensalism. When one organism is harmed to benefit another, the relationship is known as parasitism. These types of relationships often...

  • This study focuses on the Semai indigenous community in Peninsular Malaysia.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) concerning malaria among the Semai indigenous people.
  • To identify factors influencing malaria-related KAP in this population.

  • Data were collected from 267 individuals (≥12 years old) using a structured questionnaire.
  • Sociodemographic data and malaria KAP were analyzed using descriptive statistics and logistic regression.

    • Main Results:

    • Nearly half of the participants demonstrated good knowledge (49.4%) and positive attitudes (54.3%) towards malaria.
    • A high level of practice (83.1%) for malaria prevention and control was observed.
    • Older age, higher education, and previous malaria history were associated with better knowledge and attitudes.

    Conclusions:

    • The Semai Orang Asli exhibit high malaria prevention practices, but knowledge and attitudes require enhancement.
    • Increased health education and sustained community engagement are recommended to improve malaria control.
    • Targeted interventions are needed to address specific demographic and socioeconomic factors influencing malaria KAP.
