The coinfection between malaria (ML) and arboviral diseases represents a major global public health problem, particularly in tropical and subtropical countries. Despite its relevance, this topic is still insufficiently discussed in the current literature. Here, we aimed to investigate the worldwide distribution, symptoms, and diagnosis during coinfection between ML and arboviral diseases. We conducted a systematic review following the Preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) statement and assessed the selection and eligibility criteria, created and diagrammed maps, and analysed major symptoms with 95% confidence intervals (CI) using prevalence ratio and effect size, also performing latent class analysis. A total of 85,485 studies were retrieved, of which 56 were included: 57.14% in Asia, 25% in Africa, 14.30% in South America, and 3.56% in Europe. A total of 746 individuals were reported to be coinfected with Plasmodium and arbovirus. Concurrent ML, Dengue (DEN), Chikungunya (CHIK), and Zika (ZIK) patients are more likely to present headache and skin rash. Regarding diagnosis, 58,253 were made, of which 38,176 were positive (ML and at least one arboviral disease). The magnitude of these pathogens’ coexistence points out the pressing need for improvements in public health policies towards diagnosis and prevention of both diseases, especially in endemic areas. problem countries relevance literature Here distribution metaanalyses meta analyses PRISMA (PRISMA criteria maps 95 CI (CI size analysis 85485 85 485 85,48 retrieved 5 included 5714 57 14 57.14 Asia 25 Africa 1430 30 14.30 America 356 3 3.56 Europe 74 arbovirus DEN, DEN , (DEN) CHIK, CHIK (CHIK) ZIK (ZIK rash 58253 58 253 58,25 made 38176 38 176 38,17 disease. disease . disease) pathogens areas 9 8548 8 48 85,4 571 1 57.1 2 143 14.3 35 3.5 7 (DEN (CHIK 5825 58,2 3817 17 38,1 854 4 85, 57. 14. 3. 582 58, 381 38,
