Abstract
Dengue fever is one of the most concerning health problems in Indonesia. For this time, there are merely no known medicines or vaccines to prevent this disease from manifesting. Rigorous studies are still conducted intensively. Hence, vector prevention and control efforts become very important. Indicator used here to conduct surveillance, measure Ae.aegypti population density and predict transmission risk was pupa index. Pupa index was used to measure HPI, CPI, pupae/person, pupae/house, and pupa/container. This research is aimed to determine the biggest reproduction habitat, population density and pupae percentage in five sub districts in DKI Jakarta; Johar Baru (Central Jakarta), Tanjung Priok (North Jakarta), Kramat Jati (East Jakarta), Kebun Jeruk (West Jakarta), and Cilandak (South Jakarta). Method used was descriptive throught the technique was stratified random sampling technique. Result of this study showed various reproduction of Ae.aegypti pupae habitat. They were water containers (bathtub, lavatory, drums, jars, buckets, tubs ablution and bath water litters) and non-water containers (used goods, wells that are not used, vase, flower pots, pool, aquarium, drinking birds, dispenser, wastafel, and bath tub) and natural habitats (pieces of bamboo and leaf midrib). The mean value of pupae index in five research regions were CPI=8.45%; HPI=23.98%; pupae/person=0.65; pupae/house=3.58; and pupae/container=0.96. There’s an index number consistency in all research regions. If the HPI index is high, the other pupae indexes will be high too.
