Identification of vector and filariasis potential vector in Tanta Subdistrict, Tabalong District

AbstractFilariasis is endemic in 83 countries with millions of people at risk for infection and 120 million people suffer from clinical sites throughout the world. In lndonesia, filariasis is endemic in nearly all provinces. Approximately 3,1% of Indonesian population has been infected with filariasis with Microfilaremia rate (Mf-Rate) ranged between 0,5-17,9%. There are five endemic districts in South Kalimantan including Tabalong district. Microfiiaria rate for South Kalimantan was between 1,01-35,8%. This was a cross sectional study which taken place in District Tabalong subdistrict of Tanta with three villages taken as the study area; two of the villages were endemic areas: Warukin village and Pulau Ku'u village, and the rest was the village that adjacent to those endemic areas: Tamiyang villages. The study population was all mosquito species in the filariasis endemic area. Mosquito samples were caught using landing collection method on human. We found 8 mosquito species in the study area which are: Gulex puscacaphalus, Gx. tritaeniorhynchus, Gx. quinquefasciatus, Gx. bitaeniorhynchus, Anopheles barbirostris, Aedes aegypti, Ae. albopictus, Mansonia uniformis. Furthermore, we did not found mosquito breeding place in the area since the study was done in the dry season hence we are not able to found puddle. Filariasis endemis di 83 negara dengan jutaan orang berisiko terinfeksi dan 120 juta orang menderita klinis di seluruh dunia. Di lndonesia, filariasis endemis hampir di seluruh provinsi. Diperkirakan 3,1% penduduk lndonesia telah terinfeksi filariasis dengan kisaran Microfilaremia rate (Mf-Rate) antara 0,5-17,9%. Terdapat di 5 kabupaten endemis filariasis di Provinsi Kalimantan Selatan, diantaranya Kabupaten Tabalong. Mikrofilaria rate untuk Kalimantan Selatan antara 1,01-35,8%. Penelitian ini bersifat cross sectional bertempat di Kabupaten Tabalong Kecamatan Tanta dan diambil 3 desa sebagai daerah penelitian, 2 desa merupakan daerah yang endemis yaitu Desa Warukin dan Desa Pulau Ku'u, sedangkan 1 desa merupakan desa yang berdampingan dengan desa endemis yaitu Desa Tamiyang. Populasi penelitian ini adalah semua spesies nyamuk yang ada di daerah endemis filariasis. Sampel nyamuk ditangkap menggunakan metode landing collection pada manusia. Hasil penangkapan dan identifikasi spesies nyamuk yang ditemukan di daerah penelitian ada 8 spesies yaitu Gulex puscacaphalus, Gx. tritaeniorhynchus, Gx. quinquefasciatus, Gx. bitaeniorhynchus, Anopheles barbirostris, Aedes aegypti, Ae. albopictus, Mansonia uniformis dan tidak ditemukan cacing microfiiaria pada pembedahan nyamuk. Breeding place tidak ditemukan di daerah penelitian karena saat penelitian merupakan musim kemarau sehingga tidak ditemukan genangan air
