Insecticide resistance of Aedes aegypti in Indonesia: a systematic review

In Indonesia, dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) continues to be an issue. Although there have been fewer dengue infections in the past three years, many areas of Indonesia remain dengue endemic. Insecticide use is one DHF prevention and control method that has been used for a long time. Long-term usage of insecticides can cause the vector, Aedes aegypti, to develop resistance. Insecticide resistance to Aedes aegypti in Indonesia was the focus of this study's analysis of the literature review. A systematic review using keywords based on population, interest and context (PICo) was employed in the study strategy. The databases used to find the publications were ScienceDirect, ProQuest, PubMed, Google Scholar, and Garuda from 2018 to 2022. Hence, 40 papers out of the 6,429 total articles were relevant and should be reviewed and analyzed. According to an analysis of the paper, it was discovered that Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are resistant to insecticides of the pyrethroid and organophosphate classes in various parts of Indonesia. However, it was discovered that several regions were both tolerant of and vulnerable to pyrethroids and organophosphates. If insecticides are to be utilized intolerant and vulnerable locations, monitoring and evaluation of their usage must be done, and a strategy of varying insecticide kinds and dosages and boosting community empowerment toward mosquito nest elimination behaviour must be implemented.

Test The Effectiveness Of Japanese Papaya Leaf Extract (Cnidoscolus aconitifolius) On Aedes aegypti Larvae Mortality

Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is caused by the dengue virus which is transmitted through the bite of the Aedes aegypti mosquito. Prevention of DHF can be done by using larvicides.

This type of research uses an experimental study design. This study used 6 treatments with 4 repetitions consisting of control without treatment, P1 (0.2%), P2 (0.4%), P3 (0.6%), P4 (0.8%), and P5 (1%). Observations were made for 48 hours. From the research results obtained LC50 of 1.095%. The results of statistical tests using One-Way ANOVA showed that there was a significant effect on the mortality of mosquito larvae.

Knowledge, acceptance and willingness to pay for Dengue vaccine in Yogyakarta and Jakarta


 Despite the fact that Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is one of diseases with the highest incidence rate in Indonesia, its prevention strategies remain ineffective. One of the most cost-effective strategies to prevent DHF is through vaccination. This study aimed to investigate correlations between the knowledge of DHF, the behavior of DHF prevention and the knowledge of vaccine with the acceptance of dengue vaccine and willingness-to-pay (WTP) of dengue vaccine in Yogyakarta and Jakarta, Indonesia. A cross-sectional study was conducted by collecting data from people visiting primary healthcare centers (PHCs) through a valid and reliable questionnaire. A purposive sampling was applied, which resulted in 838 respondents among PHCs in Yogyakarta (two selected districts: Bantul and Kulon Progo) and Jakarta (two selected districts: West Jakarta and Central Jakarta). The result showed that the percentage of respondents who had good knowledge of vaccine was estimated to be 67-77% in all districts. The percentage of respondent who had good acceptance of vaccine was estimated to be 68-81%. WTP of dengue vaccine among respondents was estimated to be IDR 10,000-50,000. The result showed that the knowledge of DHF was significantly correlated (p<0.05) with the acceptance of dengue vaccine in districts of West Jakarta, Bantul and Kulon Progo. In particular, the behavior of DHF prevention and the knowledge of dengue vaccine were significantly correlated (p<0.05) with the acceptance of dengue vaccine in all districts. Additionally, the knowledge and acceptance of vaccine were significantly correlated (p<0.05) with WTP in West Jakarta only. It can be concluded that correlation among variables in all districts are not the same. Hence, specific approach is required to be applied in each district.
