Indeks Maya dan Indeks Entomologi Vektor Demam Berdarah Dengue di Kabupaten Mamuju Tengah, Sulawesi Barat

Abstract

The existence of containers as a potential habitat breeding places for mosquitoes in the community can affect the population density of Aedes. The maya index is an indicator to measure the number of containers that can be a breeding places for mosquitoes.
