SITUASI TERKINI VEKTOR DENGUE (Aedes aegypti) DI JAWA TENGAH

Dengue virus infection has spread world-wide causing 3.97 billion people at risk, including Indonesian. Medicinal and vaccine anti-dengue virus has not been available so that the prevention efforts are focused on controlling of the Aedes population. This study in 2015 aimed to understand the recent situation of Ae. aegypti mosquitoes in Dengue endemic areas. Dengue vector survey involving 20 houses around the Dengue patient’s houses was conducted in six districts in Central Java Province. During the survey, the domestic water containers was observed. The measured variables are container characteristics and mosquito larvae existence. Larvae were reared to become mosquito stadia, identified and subjected to insecticide susceptibility test. Ae. aegypti population indices (House index, Container index, and Breteau index) ranged between 27.3-55.2, 19.1-53.8, and 44.8-72.7 percents. Mosquito larvae were found in seven types of container, respectively. Mortality rate of mosquitoes in bioassay test were 17%, 67%, and 100% based on permethrin-0.75%, Deltamethrin-0.05%, and Malathion-5% compounds.
