KEANEKARAGAMAN JENIS DAN DISTRIBUSI NYAMUK Aedes spp. DI PANTAI SENGGIGI LOMBOK BARAT

Senggigi beach is one of tourist destinations of Lombok island-West Nusa Tenggara. In addition to its beautiful scenery, Senggigi has potential problems in the health field namely Aedes spp., mosquito, which became a dengue vector. This explorative and descriptive research, has been done in June-July 2017 and aimed to observe the bioecology of Aedes spp., mosquito in Senggigi beach. Sampling was done with purposive sampling method, by collecting larvae and adult mosquito Aedes spp., at specified sampling point. The collected samples then identified. The result of the study, two species of Aedes spp., mosquitos were found, there are Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. Breeding habitat of Aedes spp. mosquitos were found in artificial containers. The highest density were 57.5 individuals/100 mL found in the boat habitat and the lowest density were 2 individuals/100 mL in the trash bin. The highest Relative Abundance Index value of Aedes aegypti were 100% in fish pond habitat and Aedes albopictus was 100% in three different habitats (used tire, sterofoam box and used bowl). The selection of Aedes albopictus habitat in clear and dirty water, near the yard of the house with dense vegetation rather than densely populated makes the distribution more widespread. Meanwhile, Aedes aegypti was only distributed in clear water habitats, near densely populated settlements.
