Kepadatan Aedes sp. dan Hubungannya dengan Faktor Habitat di Kelurahan Patunas, Kabupaten Tanjung Jabung Barat

Habitat larva Aedes sp. di setiap wilayah mempunyai karakteristik berbeda. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kepadatan larva Aedes sp. dan hubungannya dengan faktor habitat. Penelitian cross sectional ini dilakukan pada bulan Oktober–November 2017 di Kelurahan Patunas, Kecamatan Tungkal Ilir, Kabupaten Tanjung Jabung Barat, Provinsi Jambi. Larva diambil dari kontainer air yang terdapat di dalam dan luar rumah dengan metode single larvae. Larva yang dikoleksi digunakan untuk menghitung house index (HI), container index (CI), breteau index (BI), dan density figure (DF). Pada pemeriksaan 100 rumah, diperoleh 163 kontainer yang berisi larva Aedes sp. dan paling banyak ditemukan di drum daripada kontainer lain. Diperoleh HI=59%, CI=34%, BI=163, dan density figure (DF)=8. Letak, warna, kondisi kontainer, sumber air, volume air, dan pemberian larvasida berhubungan dengan kepadatan larva Aedes sp. (p<0,05). Bahan kontainer dan pemeliharaan ikan tidak berhubungan dengan kepadatan larva Aedes sp. (p>0,05). Diperoleh DF 8 yang menunjukkan kepadatan larva Aedes sp. yang tinggi sehingga Kelurahan Patunas berisiko dalam penularan DBD.

This study aims to determine the density of Aedes sp. larvae and its relationship to habitat factors. The study was conducted in October- November 2017 in Patunas Village, Tungkal Ilir Subdistrict, Tanjung Jabung Barat District, Jambi Province. Larvae were collected from water containers in the indoor and outdoor using the single larvae methods. The collected larvae were used to calculate the value of House Index (HI), Container Index (CI), Breteau Index (BI), and Density Figure (DF). There were 163 containers containing Aedes sp. larvae and the most are found in drums rather than other containers. HI=59%, CI=34%, BI=163, and density figure (DF)=8. Location, color, condition of container, source of water, volume of water, and larvacide are related with density of Aedes sp. larvae (p<0.05). Container material and fish are not related to the density of Aedes sp. larvae (p>0.05). Density of Aedes sp. larvae have a high DF so that the Patunas Village is at risk in dengue transmission.
