A Scoping Review Protocol of Malaria Vectors in Malaysia
Abstract Introduction: Malaria is still a public health threat. From 2010 to 2017, a total of 33, 181 malaria cases were recorded in Malaysia. Thus, effective intervention and key entomological information are vital to interrupt or in preventing malaria transmission. Therefore, availability of malaria vectors information is desperately needed. The objective of this study is to established protocols of new and potential malaria vector as a part of existing malaria vectors in Malaysia for human and zoonotic infection. Methods and analysis: Scoping review will be conducted based on Arksey and O’Malley’s methodology on four electronic databases; Scopus, PubMed, Google Scholar and Science Direct. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses for Scoping Review (PRISMA-ScR) will be used as a systematic approach. All relevant finding will be managed by Mendeley software and Microsoft Excel program. Ethics and dissemination: Ethical approval is not required on secondary of data. Study findings will be submitted for peer-reviewed publication.
