Abstract

Aedes-borne arboviruses have emerged as an important public health problem throughout the world whereAedesspp. are the vectors responsible for this disease. This study was conducted to identify the material types of breeding containers ofAedesspp. larvae as one of the baseline data for Kuta Alam SubDistrict and to suggest suitableAedesprevention and control strategies. Larvae were identified morphologically and larval indices were also calculated. A total of 2436 containers out of 14 types of containers observed during study periods. The positive breeding containers were surveyed and classified into indoors and outdoors environments. The material of positive breeding container types found was classified into six categories; cement, ceramic, plastic, metal, rubber and glass. As many as 450 of the 2436 potential containers included in the survey, half of the positive containers are cement and plastic materials which represent 80% of the total both in rural and urban areas, indoors and outdoors environment. It was followed by ceramic (15%), metal (3%) and rubber (1%).Aedesspp. larvae were most abundant in cement and plastic material. Therefore, community mobilization towards eliminating human-made containers, either indoor or outdoor, is vital for the dengue control program.

Highlights

Dengue is the most prevalent and rapidly spreading mosquito-borne viral disease in the world
The public health concern of Aedes mosquitoes because their role as vectors that can spread diseases such as Dengue, Malaria, Filariasis, Yellow fever, and Japanese encephalitis, chikungunya virus, and Zika Virus (ZIKV), The most common is the dengue virus which is transmitted to humans by the infected females of Aedes aegyti and Aedes albopictus
Kuta Alam subdistrict is chosen for the implementation of the study, because Kuta Alam subdistrict is an endemic dengue area since 2007 and of eight districts in Banda Aceh that was affected by the earthquake and tsunami on 26 December 2004

Summary

Introduction

Dengue is the most prevalent and rapidly spreading mosquito-borne viral disease in the world. Over half of the world’s population is at risk of dengue and chikungunya infections [3]. It is affecting more than 50 million people each year [4]. Following the flood disaster in Brazil in 2008, 57,010 dengue cases including 67 deaths were reported among victims. This epidemic was associated with the disruption of basic water supply and solid waste management services. Other risk factors included changes in human behavior (e.g., sleeping outside and movement from non-endemic to endemic areas) and changes in habitat that promote mosquitoborne disease transmission [6]
