At Kota Kinabalu port, Rattus rattus have the highest cestodes infections with infection rates of 62.5%, whereas Rattus exulans got infected from cestodes with 8.3% infection rates. At Anjung Selera, it shows that Rattus tiomanicus jalorensis were highly infected with cestodes based on 66.7% of infection rates. The highest nematode infection are on Sundamy muelleri which is 58.3%. Study at Kingfisher area shows that Rattus rattus were the most cestode infected 60.6% compared to nematoda which shows only 42.9%.
