19, 1972. (Reviews earlier malaria surveys on Semai in the 1930s and 60s, Temuan in the 60s,
and Temiar with Jehai in the 60s; discusses malarial control measures at the time.)

vectors in Peninsular Malaysia. SEAJTMPH 21 (3):412-417, 1990. (On Semai of Betau; the
interesting findings by this team did not lead to including the bars in anti-malarial programs.)

ecology of malaria in Malaysia. Bull. WHO 39:451-463, 1968. (Studied Batu 55 Jeruntut Road
displacement village in Pahang and 9 sites in Upper Perak/Upper Kelantan: Fort Kemar, Banding,
Kuah, Sira, Peltu, Fort Betau, Fort Chabai, Kuala Yai, and Gamala; Batu 55 is Semaq Beri;
Banding, Perak, is Jahai; Betau, Pahang, is Semai; Kemar in Perak and Chabai, Yai, and Gamala

(Studied 275 Temiar; 56% of the 0-4 year age group had malarial parasitemia, but the over-40
group had 0%; the study focused on acquired immunity and ignored genetic resistance to
malaria.)

others.)
