Awareness of the development site of Aedes aegypti larvae

Abstract

Background: dengue fever Dengue (DENGUE HEMORRHAGIC FEVER (DHF) )
is a communicable disease that often give rise to Extraordinary Events (of the
Outbreak) and a cause of death. The disease is caused by dengue virus carried
by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes as vectors. However, not to know the
characteristics of the container with the presence of Aedes aegypti larva. This
research would like to compare if there was any relationship between the
characteristics of the container with the presence of Aedes aegypti larva.
Methods: this research is a type of observational analytic study with pieces of
latitude. The population in this research is the whole House which is located in
the city of Semarang. Cluster sampling techniques are used to choose the House
that there is a case of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever(DHF), One home index focus
case Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever(DHF) and five houses that are located nearby.
The variables examined include the types of containers, container base material,
the basic condition of the containers, color containers, container and cover the
existence of the existence of Aedes aegypti larva. Statistical analysis using SPSS
16 with the chi square test.
Result: there is a relationship between the type of container (p = 0.001<0,05),
material container (p=0,001<0,05), basic condition of container (p=0,001<0,05),
the color of the container (p=0,004<0,05) with the existence of larva. There is no
relationship between the presence of a cover with the existence of larva
(p=0,083>0.05).
Conclusions: this type of container the most positive Aedes aegypti larva is a
bath for that community is advised to use this type of container the water once
used up, such as buckets, tubs. If you want to hold the water should be to put a
sealed water tandon. The selection of base material container should choose
basic materials that are easy to clean. The basic condition for the container must
always be clean. For the color of the container should select a color other than
black or dark. In addition it is hoped the community always close the container.
