Abstract
Ovitrap has been developed and used in many countries as a monitoring tool of dengue vector. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of modified ovitrap and standard ovitrap, as well as measuring the population of Aedes sp. This study was performed in Sidorejo Lor Village Central Java. A pair of conventional and modified ovitrap was put in 100 houses each. Ovitraps were placed indoor and outdoor, in the distance of 100 meters. The results of the study showed that modified ovitrap collected significantly larger numbers of Aedes sp than standard ovitrap. Numbers of Ae. aegypti (68.61%) was higher than Ae. albopictus (30.78%). Mixed breeding outdoor (11.21%) were higher than indoors (3.57%). The value of Area Ovitrap Index (AOI) and Monthly Ovitrap Index (MOI) of modified ovitrap was greater than standard ovitrap. Modified ovitrap can be recommended as a tool for monitoring population of Aedes sp.
