Population at risk of contracting malaria includes indigenous people, traditional villagers, mobile ethnic group and land scheme settlers, immigrants from malaria endemic countries as well as jungle workers and loggers. The predominant species are Plasmodium falciparum and P.vivax. Increasing number of P.knowlesi infections is also encountered. The principal vectors in Peninsular Malaysia are Anopheles maculatus and An cracens.
