Abstract

Malaria is still a public health concern in Tanjung Agung, Muara Enim District, South Sumatra, Indonesia, although the third SDG aims to eliminate the disease by 2030. This study aimed to identify the environmental factors that put mining workers at a higher risk of malaria. It was a cross-sectional study. The study included 92 selected participants. Bivariate analysis revealed a correlation between malaria and mosquito mosquito breeding (p-value = 0.039), mosquito resting sites (p-value = 0.018), and house wall conditions (pvalue = 0.028). Multivariate analysis revealed that a housewall was the most significant risk factor, with PR = 0.267, 95% confidence interval (0.089-0.797), and p-value = 0.006. Understanding the interactions between the mosquito resting behaviour patterns of malaria mosquitoes is essential for planning adequate vector control. As demonstrated by these results, malaria elimination requires reducing mosquito resting malaria vectors.
