ABSTRACT. Vector control programs using chemical insecticide e.g otgatiochlorin, otganophosphate, carbonate, and pyrethroid (cypermethrin). When those insecticides were applied continuously, it may lead to vector resistance. The aim of Ihis research was to detect any resistance of Ac. aegymi to cypermethrin in endemic areas of Cimahi. This research is a laboratory study that used bioch…

Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus mosquitoes being the vector of Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever (DHF). Various efJort have been done to control the mosquitoes, including using plant extract as repellent. Pandanus amaryllifolius and Notophanax scutellarium leaf were known to posses repellent activity for mosquito species. The study aimed to examine efJectiveness ofP. amaryllifolius and N. scutellarium…
One of the vector-borne diseases that outbreaks in the community is chikungunya fever, which the carrier is the mosquito vectors derived from the genus Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. The disease is not dangerous than malaria or dengue fever that can lead to dea th, chikungunya virus is self limiting disease. Losses resulting from this disease is the decline in labor productivity due to los…
