Malaria remains a public health problem in many parts of the world, including Malaysia. Although Malaysia has been recognized as one of the countries free from indigenous human malaria since 2018, the rising trend of zoonotic malaria, particularly cases, poses a threat to public health and is of great concern to the country's healthcare system. We reviewed previously scattered information on zoonotic malaria infections in both Peninsular Malaysia and Malaysian Borneo to determine the epidemiology and distribution of emerging zoonotic malaria infections. Given the high prevalence of zoonotic malaria in Malaysia, efforts should be made to detect zoonotic malaria in humans, mosquito vectors, and natural hosts to ensure the success of the National Malaria Elimination Strategic Plan.
疟疾在世界许多地区仍然是一个公共卫生问题，包括马来西亚。尽管自 2018 年以来，马来西亚已被公认为没有本土人类疟疾的国家之一，但动物源性疟疾（尤其是）病例的上升趋势对公共卫生构成了威胁，并引起了该国医疗保健系统的极大关注。我们回顾了之前在马来半岛和马来西亚婆罗洲关于动物源性疟疾感染的分散信息，以确定新兴动物源性疟疾感染的流行病学和分布。鉴于马来西亚动物源性疟疾的高流行率，应努力在人类、蚊子媒介和自然宿主中检测动物源性疟疾，以确保国家消除疟疾战略计划的成功。
