Abstract

Dengue fever caused by Aedes aegypti mosquito is the main vector of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) in urban areas. This study aims to determine differences in density of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes based on the floor of the building, because the number of dengue fever in Bukittinggi is quite high. This research was conducted in May-June 2019 in the STIKes Fort De Kock Bukittinggi building. This research is experimental with the independent variable building floor density and the dependent variable is the density of the aedes aegypti mosquito seen from the ovitrap index. The object of the experiment was ovitrap, the number of ovitraps used was 54 ovitraps. The results of this study to determine differences in density of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes based on the floor of the building at various concentrations were tested using ANOVA. The results showed that of 54 ovites there were 86 Aedes aegypti mosquito eggs. Based on the ANOVA test results with an ? value of 5% or 0.05, p value = 0.524 (p??) is obtained, which means that H? is accepted. So there is a minimum floor that does not have a significant difference in the density of Aedes aegypti mosquito eggs. It can be concluded that there is no difference based on the floor with the density of Aedes aegypti mosquito eggs including, with an ? value of 5% or 0.05, a p value = 0.524 (p??), which means that H? is accepted. So there is a minimum floor that does not have a significant difference in the density of Aedes aegypti mosquito eggs. Keywords :Floor,ovitrap,Aedes aegypti mosquito
