Kepadatan Nyamuk Tersangka Vektor Filariasis Di Desa Panumbangan, Kabupaten Ciamis, Desa Jalaksana Kabupaten Kuningan Dan Batukuvvung Kabupaten Serang (Density of Mosquito as Suspected Filariasis Vector in Panutnbangan Village Ciamis District, Jalaksana Village Kuningan District and Batukuwung Serang District)
Filariasis is one of the vector born diseases which is still a problem of public health in Indonesia. The health effects are fever, fatigue, and permanent disability. The research is aimed to determine the density of mosquito as a vector of filaria and find about the environmental conditions that support the transmission of filariasis in Ciamis, Kuningan, and Serang Districts. This is a descriptive research with observational design of spot survey. The sample is suspected vector of mosquito caught by landing collection method and resting at home as well as in nature. The research found the predominant mosquito species at the three sites that caught by feeding and resting are Cx. sitiens, Cx. quinquefasciatus and Cx. tritaeniorhyncus. The predominant mosquito in Panumbangan Village Ciamis District is Cx. sitiens with relative abundance and dominance number of 0.579. The predominant mosquito in Jalaksana Village Ciamis District is Cx. sitiens with relative abundance and dominance number of 0.630. The predominant mosquito in Batukuwung Village Serang District is Cx. Quinquefasciatus with relative abundance and dominance number of 0.8414. Environmental factors in the area of research support for the breeding of mosquitoes as filarial vectors. Physical environmental conditions such as temperature is 24-250C and humidity is 79 — 88 percent.
