In Malaysia, soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections still persist among indigenous communities. the past, local studies have focused mostly on epidemiologic aspects of STH with a scarcity information efficacy deworming treatment. The present study consisted 2 phases: cross-sectional phase current epidemiological status and risk factors longitudinal over 6 weeks triple dose albendazole against infections.

Hence, an experimental study was conducted to identify potential vectors responsible for transmission of D. immitis Leidy and B. pahangi Buckley & Edeson. A total 367 mosquitoes belonging six containing both laboratory field strains (i.e. Aedes togoi Theobald, aegypti Linnaeus, albopictus Skuse, Culex quinquefasciatus Say, vishnui Theobald Anopheles dirus Peyton Harrison) were used in this study.
