Abstract
East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) is still endemic for DHF, as in Kupang city. This study aim was to analyze the relationship between Aedes sp praimago density and the DHF incidence in Kupang City. This observational analytic study with a case control design was conducted in 25 urban villages in Kupang City using Cluster sampling. The independent variables were the density of praimago such as House Positivity (HP), Number of Larvae in House (LH), Number of Pupa in House (PH), and Total Eggs (TE), and the dependent variable was the DHF incidence. Data were obtained by entomological surveys to see the density of eggs, larvae and pupae of Aedes sp per house, and then analyzed by independent t test, and Pearson correlation. House positivity (HP) was found to be significantly associated with the DHF incidence (p 0.001; OR 3.519). Larvae in House (LH) and total eggs were also correlated with the DHF incidence, but pupae in house (PH) was not correlated. The conclusion drawn is that the density of Aedes sp mosquito larvae such as HP, LH and TE in a house can be used to estimate the risk of dengue incidence from family members living in the house.
