Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever is still a major public health problem in Indonesia. Increased dengue cases in Indonesia cannot be separated from the presence of Aedes sp. as an infectious vector. One of the factors that influence the incidence of Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is the number of Aedes sp. larvae. The larva population is strongly influenced by the characteristics of its habitat. Data of Riset Khusus Vektora 2016 contains the level of larvae density of Aedes sp. through a water reservoir seen from controllable sites and dispossable sites. Data was taken in 15 provinces in Indonesia, Aceh, West Sumatra, Lampung, Bangka Belitung, West Java, East Java, Banten, West Nusa Tenggara, East Nusa Tenggara, West Kalimantan, South Kalimantan, North Sulawesi, Southeast Sulawesi, Maluku, and North Maluku. The results obtained in this study were examined from 11,491 container, obtained 11,301 controllable sites and 190 dispossable sites. Larvae were found more on controllable sites because it is used in everyday life. There are 18 districts/cities that have a medium density figure category and 27 districts/cities are categorized as having high larvae densities. The way that is considered effective and appropriate in preventing and eradicating DHF is by eradicating its transmitting mosquito nest (PSN-DBD) through the 3M plus movement which requires the participation of all levels of society.
