Prevalence of Plasmodium spp. in Anopheles mosquitoes in Thailand: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The entomological inoculation rate (EIR) is one of the key indices used to evaluate malaria transmission and vector control interventions. One of the components of the EIR is the sporozoite rate in Anopheles vectors. A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed to identify the prevalence of Plasmodium spp. in field-collected Anopheles species across Thailand.

Methods

This systematic review was registered under the PROSPERO number CRD42021297255. Studies that focused on the identification of Plasmodium spp. in Anopheles mosquitoes were identified from the electronic databases PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus. The quality of the identified studies was determined using the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology approach. The pro
