Tingkat Kematian Larva Aedes aegypti dan Aedes albopictus Terhadap Penggunaan Abate Dengan Metode Berbeda

Abstract

Nowadays, Dengue Haemorhagic Fever (Indonesian called DBD) is still problem of a public health in the Palu city. Eradication efforts that have been done routinely in the area, particularly vector eradication using chemical insecticides, one of them is conducted through abatesasi by using 1% of temephos granules for larvasida, with an applicable range of 0.01 mg / l for 8-12 weeks in the place water reservoirs, potentially as a breeding place of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. Nevertheless, the obtained results were not in line with proposed expectation. This study applied experimental method by looking at mortality reduction in larvae populations of Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti at the abate application of both sow and wrap with five dose levels. It showed that the ability of'Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus larvae to survive on the application of a sow abate was < I 2 hours, while in the appticatioi of a wrap abate of ones can survive <24 hours. Abate application with five dose levels showed no significant difference to kill the larvae mosquito of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. It means the occured death at all used dose level. Abate application of both sow and wrap manner resulted in a significant effect (F = 5.651 P value 0.00 <0.05) where the mortality of larvae in the sow application was more quickly than the wrap application of abate. Therefore, it can be concluded that abate doses diffirence still effectively killed the larvae of Aedes aegypti or Aedes albopictus, both a sow and a wrap manner.
