Pengendalian Vektor Terpadu Pengaruhnya terhadap Indikator Entomologi Daerah Endemis Malaria Pulau Sebatik, Kabupaten Nunukan (Integrated Vector Control Impact on the Entomologycal Indicator of Malaria Endemic Area, Sebatik Island, Nunukan Regency)
Integrated malaria vector control study has been conducted in the border area of Indonesia-Malaysia, Sebatik Island, Nunukan Regency, Kalimantan Timur Province.
The objective of the study was to determine the impact of integrated vector control application against quantitative entomological indicators as malaria epidemiology variable. The evaluation was carried out by all night human landing mosquito collection and larval density (dipper method; 350 ml volume) calculated as number of larvae per dip. The study revealed two mosquito species Anopheles balabacensis and Anopheles maculatus as malaria vectors in the area. Anopheles balabacensis was found predominant, highly antrophophylic 88,33% and the sporozoite index which was determined by ELISA test 12,75%. Quantitative entomological indicators such as: vectorial capacity, entomological inoculation rate, stability index of An. balabacensis as malaria vector and the malaria cases were found gradualy decreased and within 6 months evaluation, 100% reductions were occured. Results of this study indicated the effectiveness of vector control application. Integrated vector control method is recommended to be applied in effort to maintained low malaria endemicity and not to be applied during the outbreak.
