In Indonesia, the incidence of Dengue Hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is significanly increasede every year. Alathough in 2008 was decreased. Incidence rate (IR) in 2006 is 52.48 to 71.78 in 2007.Untill now, there is no specific drugs and vaccine for DHF. So DHF eradication very depend on effort the principle vector Aedes aegypti control.The DHF vector breeds in water containers. Thus the relationsh…
Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is still one of the most important public health problem in Indonesia. Disease control efforts have been widely carried out, such as larvaciding, fogging focus, and mosquito breeding control. The efforts will be performing well if its involves community participation. The objectives of this study was to enhance community participation in the implementation of the …
Insecticide resistance study to DHF vector Aedes aegypti was carried out in Central Java and Yogyakarta Provinces. The objective of this study was to map the insecticide susceptibility of Aedes aegypti population to the three chemical groups of insecticide used in public health, in Central Java and Yogyakarta. Laboratory-reared, Fl generation of field population of Aedes aegypti from eleven and…
Dengue hemmorrhagic fever (DHF) is the one of vector born diseases which is a one a public health problem in Indonesia. The distribution and number of DHF cases are increases in Indonesia every years. The vector control using larvicides should be tested to know the effectivity. This reports describes the efficacy of larvacide altosid® 1.3 g for DHF vector Aedes aegypti control in three doses 2…
Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is still a public health problem at tropical areas. There are 16 provinces in Indonesia which reported outbreaks of DHF. Palembang is one of DHF endemic areas in South Sumatera. DHF vector control which has been done is fogging with malathion (adult mosquitoes) and temephose (larvae). The design was cross-sectional and was carried out in May to November 2009, loca…
Background: Virological surveillance provides an early warning sign for the risk of transmission in an area. Laboratory tests for dengue virus infection on mosquitoes include isolation of the virus, Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and Direct Fluorescent-Antibody (DFA) requires a high level of technical skill, expensive equipment, and time-consuming. A meth…
