A study was conducted to determine the effect of density and species mosquitoes larvae on the feeding Capability of Mesocyclops sp. Observations were conducted for 72 hours of exposure. In this study two densities and three species of first instar larvae were evaluated against Mesocyclops sp. The ratio used were respectively 25 : 50 and 25 : 75. The result showed that feeding capability of Meso…
Bacillus thuringiensis H-14 and Bacillus sphaericus H-5a5b are microbial agents showing high potency for vector control. They are highly specific to target insect, and do not produce any adverse environmental impact. Such agents would be very promising agents for vector control, especially vector of dengue haemorrhagic fever in Indonesia. The present studies aimed at observing the residual effe…
The vector control program has been imlemented in Indonesia for many years, however, vector-borne diseases are presently still a problem in Indonesia. Past activities for vector control implemented indoor residual spraying and larviciding only. Vector control problem occur through many causes and this has complicated past control programs. Presently these complicated causes are surveyed through…
A study to evaluate the efficacy of biological larvacide Teknar 1500S which contains 1500 S AAU of Baccillus thuringiensis israeliensis (Bti) serotype H-14 crystal delta endotoxin against Anopheles maculatus larvae was conducted of Kakap District, Kulon Progo Regency in Yogyakarta Province. Three methods of application was compared, i.e.; spraying, using plastic bags and pouring the larvicide o…
The effect of the insecticide permethrin 100 EC on Ae. aegypti, the vector for dengue Hemorrhagic Fever, was studied at the Entomology Laboratory, Health Research and Development of Health. Permethrin 100 Ec was sprayed (0.125 g/m2) to common media of resting places of the Ae. aegypti: board, nylon cloth, cotton cloth, wool and straw mats. A significant difference of mosquito knock down (LK 50)…
