Effectiveness of Abatezation and Fogging Intervention to the Larva Density of Aedes Aegypti Dengue in Endemic Areas of Makassar City

Abstract

Dengue Fever is an acute infectious disease caused by the dengue virus and transmitted through the bite of Aedes aegypti. Indonesia is one country that is still at risk of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF), for up to 2010 about 70% of districts / cities are still categorized as endemic, (DG P2PL MoH, 2011). This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of interventions abatezation and fogging on the density of larvae in the endemic area of ??Makassar. Type this research is the observation with a descriptive approach. The samples were 200 houses selected by proportional random sampling. The results showed that abatezation and Fogging effectively improve Figures Free Flick (ABJ) and lower Larva Density Index (House Index) of 8.6%, although the percentage is lower compared to simply abatezation. In the village who do not abatezation and fogging decreased and increased significantly in Figures Free Flick (ABJ) and the House Index (HI), amounting to 16.6%. Further research is needed deep and ongoing to further examine the impact of implementation of abatezation and fogging, good for people's health and the health of the environment.
