2 Abstract
3 Introduction
4 Malaria is a significant public health concern in Indonesia. Muara Enim Regency is one of the districts
5 in South Sumatra with the most important number of indigenous malaria cases in the last three years
6 (2018-2020), spanning multiple locations. Very little had been done on determinants of malaria in
7 Muara Enim Regency. Therefore, this study aimed to identify determinants of malaria in the Muara
8 Enim Regency.
9
10 Methods
11 The design of this study was a case-control study. In the Tanjung Enim and Tanjung Agung Community
12 Health Center regions, a stratified random sample with strata in 2018, 2019, and 2020 with 49 cases and
13 49 controls was utilized. Using both bivariable and multivariable logistic regression models, malaria
14 determinants were discovered.
15
16 Result
17 The multivariable logistic regression model results show that mosquito repellent reduces malaria risk by
18 71% (OR=0.29, 95% CI: 0.11-0.64). Besides, the presence of wire mesh on ventilation reduces the risk
19 of malaria by 76% (OR=0.24, 95% CI: 0.10-0.57), and the distance from a breeding place near hundred
20 meters and less increases the risk of malaria by 3.88 fold (OR=3.88; 95% CI: 1.67-8.97).
21
22 Conclusions
23 Mosquito repellent, breeding site distance, and the presence of wire mesh on ventilation are
24 determinants of malaria in the Muara Enim Regency. Eliminating malaria in the Muara Enim Regency
25 requires boosting promotional efforts in mosquito prevention measures.

28 Introduction
29 Malaria is a public health concern and one of the world's top causes of mortality; it is spread by the
30 Anopheles mosquito, which carries the Plasmodium parasite. In the last three years (2018-2020), the
31 global incidence of malaria reached 698 million cases, with an estimated 602,000 deaths. [1] Malaria
32 eradication by 2030 is one of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) within the third target:
33 providing a healthy life and pursuing prosperity for all people. [2]
34 The 2018 Riskesdas statistics for malaria incidence in Indonesia indicate that 10.7 million people
35 continue to reside in medium and high malaria endemic areas. These territories consist of Papua, West
36 Papua, and NTT. In 2017, 266 districts/cities out of 514 in Indonesia were malaria-free, 172
37 districts/cities were low endemic, 37 districts/cities were medium endemic, and 39 districts/cities were
38 severely endemic. Malaria prevalence in Indonesia is 0.37%. Malaria is most prevalent in Papua and
39 least prevalent in East Java; its incidence in South Sumatra is 0.24 percent.[3]
40 According to the South Sumatra Provincial Health Office, eight districts/cities have an Annual Parasite
41 Incidence (API) of 0.01 per 1000 inhabitants in 2020. Most of these cases are local transmission. [4, 5]
42 Muara Enim Regency had the most malaria cases in the past three years (2018-2020). Tanjung Enim and
43 Tanjung Agung community health centers had the most cases in their operational areas. The Muara
44 Enim Regency could be a breeding location for Anopheles mosquitoes. Certain areas are open mineral
45 mining operations that may contain standing water and be a mosquito breeding risk. According to
46 published studies, there is a variety of factors that can affect malaria risk. [6-14] These include ambient
47 weather conditions (temperature and humidity); housing condition (presence of wire mesh on
48 ventilation, state of the floor and walls of the house); mosquito locations (presence of breeding and
49 resting places, distance to breeding places); domestic animals (presence of cattle pens, distance to cattle
50 pens); and community behavior (using mosquito nets, mosquito repellents, the habit of going out at
51 night, and the habit of hanging clothes on the walls of the house).
52 The research aimed to identify determinants of malaria in the Muara Enim Regency. The current study
53 determines this; Muara Enim malaria patients' environment and risk behavior will be analyzed and
54 compared to the behavior of matched cases without malarial (the controls). Following the analysis,
55 recommendations will be made for locations with environmental factors that favor malaria vector
56 proliferation and for eliminating malaria in the regency/city in 2023. Consider Muara Enim Regency,
57 one of South Sumatra's regencies/cities with the most Indigenous malaria cases.
59 Study area
60 This study was conducted in the service area of Tanjung Enim and Tanjung Agung community health
61 centers, including ten villages with Indigenous cases. The two Community health centers were chosen
62 based on the highest number of Indigenous malaria cases in Muara Enim Regency over three years
64
67 The case-control study design was carried out in May and June of 2022. This study used stratified
68 random sampling to divide the population into groups using the year strata 2018, 2019, and 2020; simple
69 random sampling was conducted from each stratum. The computation results yielded a total of 98 case
70 and control samples. Respondents include Indigenous malaria patients of all ages residing in two
71 working zones of Tanjung Enim and Tanjung Agung community health center, which are recorded in E-
74 The sample size is calculated using the sample formula to test the two-proportion hypothesis,

80 Indigenous malaria cases are the dependent variable. A case definition is an Indigenous person who was
81 positive for malaria based on data from the malaria E-sismal in Muara Enim Regency (2018-2020). The
82 control subject was a healthy person who was the case's nearest neighbor using gender-based matching.
83 Validity and dependability of the questionnaire were tested before data collection. Health workers do
84 microscopic exams to diagnose the disease's prevalence, and Indigenous cases are recorded in E-sismal
85 (2018-2020). Respondents who said they had never experienced malaria were asked about other
86 illnesses—using questionnaires and E-Sismal to validate interview disease data. Indigenous malaria has
87 no value. Researchers did not study malaria, which is diagnosed microscopically and transmitted
88 electronically.
89 Independent variables included housing (the presence of wire netting, the condition of the floor of the
90 house, and the condition of the house's walls). Behavioral variables included mosquito nets, mosquito
91 repellents, walking out at night, and wall-hanging garments. Details of variables are shown in table 2.
92 All independent variables were recorded as one or two. If rarely, code one; if often, code two. Wire
93 netting, breeding places, resting places, cow pens, and mosquito larvae are code 1 if present and two if
94 not; house floor and wall conditions are coded one if they do not meet standards and two if they do;
95 breeding places and cattle pens are coded one if close and two if far. In the current study using logistic
96 regression, independent variables were normalized. They were all coded. For sample size and selected

103 After obtaining the values of P1 and P2 from prior studies, the initial sample size was calculated using
104 the Sample Size program; the greatest sample size was 46 samples. Case sampling employs stratified
105 random sampling, i.e., separating the population into groups based on the year strata 2018, 2019, and
106 2020. From each stratum, simple random sampling was conducted with the annual sample distribution

126 The objective of the multivariable analysis was to identify significant variables in a logistic regression
127 model. If the bivariate analysis yielded a p-value (sig.) of 0.25, the research variables were included in
128 the modeling for the multivariate analysis. Alternatively, if the bivariate analysis yielded a p-value (sig.)
129 greater than 0.25, the variable were not included in the multivariate modeling.
130 Results
132 Univariate analysis was used to examine each research variable, including behavioral factors (the habit
133 of using mosquito nets, the habit of using mosquito repellent, the habit of going out at night, and the
134 habit of hanging clothes) and environmental factors (the habit of going out at night, the habit of hanging
135 clothes, and the habit of going out at night) (the presence of wire netting, the condition of the floor of the
136 house, the condition of the walls of the house, the presence of breeding place, presence of resting place,
137 a distance of breeding place, presence of cattle pens, a distance of cattle pens, and presence of mosquito
138 larvae). Next, bivariate analysis was used to examine the associations between behavioral factors (the
139 habit of using mosquito nets, the habit of using mosquito repellent, the habit of going out at night, and
140 the habit of hanging clothes) and environmental factors (the habit of going out at night, the habit of
141 hanging clothes indoors) (the presence of wire netting, the condition of the floor of the house, the

149 The association indicated some relevance to malaria risk. The connections are noted next for these six
150 variables. They were: net use (64.7% of cases did not use nets; 66 % of the controls did); Use of
151 mosquito repellents (63.6 of cases did not; 67.4 of the controls did; having wire mesh on ventilation
152 (63.8% of cases did not; 70% of controls did); the existence of mosquito Breeding Place (61.8% of cases
153 did have; 65.1% of controls did not); Presence of mosquito resting place (61.2% of cases did have,
154 61.2% of control did not): Distance to mosquito breeding place nearby (100m) (66.7 % of cases were
155 near breeding places, 66% of controls were not near, were > 100 m away). The remainder of these
156 analyses' variables were insignificant and will not be further described (refer to Table 4). Bivariable

170 Discussion
171 Malaria and other infectious mosquito borne diseases can be reduced with the use of coils, vaporizers,
172 mats, and lotions. Although evidence for their effectiveness is weak, they are touted as a complementary
173 technique to insecticide-treated nets for mosquito control. Education and socioeconomic status affect
174 their use. Effectiveness and counseling on choice can promote rational usage.[29] In another study,
175 mosquito coils did not diminish malaria incidence. Repellent distribution and exchange had higher
176 operational expenses than long-lasting insecticidal net (LLIN) distribution.[30] Such effort could be
177 acceptable in the context of malaria elimination, where these interventions are temporary.[31] Therefore,
178 understanding the resting sites is crucial to provide information for implementing vector control
179 strategies.[32] Malaria vector management requires knowledge of Anopheles resting habitats. Using
180 Google Earth, Landsat, or other remotely sensed data, this technique can be performed at many
181 geographic scales to analyze malaria vector resting habitats where outdoor control activities can reduce
182 the disease's Burden in Africa and elsewhere. [11] Understanding the feeding and resting habits, as well
183 as the transmission potential, of adult vectors in the area is crucial for proper planning and implementing
185 Wire mesh screens are a practical way to reduce exposure to malaria-transmitting insects. Screening
186 protects indoor sleepers from mosquito-borne infections.[34] House improvements included covering
187 eaves, other wall gaps, and doorways with locally available materials, and screening ventilation
188 holes/spaces, including windows, with wire mesh. All other items, such as nails, brick, and mud for
189 fixing eaves, wall gaps, and door frame adjustments, were donated by communities.[35] Depending on
190 climate, geography, and human activity, each Anopheles species has its preferred oviposition site.
191 Natural or man-made water bodies, large or small, in rushing or stagnant water, shady or sunny,
192 permanent or transitory. Variations in Anopheles densities affect malaria risk spatially and temporally.
193 When blood meal sources are abundant in cities, vector dispersion is low, and malaria transmission is
194 focal.[36] Sleeping under nets, knowledge about mosquito breeding areas and malaria, previous malaria
195 history, distance from health centers, and family size predict early treatment-seeking for malaria.[37]
196 Another study highlighted the diversity of malaria vector resting and feeding behavior and the
197 maintenance of Plasmodium infections despite using long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLIN).[38] Housing
198 improvements offer a viable strategy for vector control in low-transmission environments that may
199 impart a similar protective benefit to current vector control strategies.[39] Good housing construction
200 limits mosquito vector access, reducing malaria risk. Ugandan housing design affects mosquito ingress
