Karakteristik Tempat Penampungan Air Positif Larva Aedes, Vektor Demam Berdarah: Studi Literatur

Abstract

The Aedes mosquito is a vector that spreads dengue, chikungunya, yellow fever, zika, and West Nile virus. Eradication of mosquito larvae is carried out primarily in water reservoirs. Community action towards eradicating mosquito nests with 3M PLUS is inadequate. This study aims to analyse the water reservoirs, which are highly risky for Aedes mosquito larvae. This paper is a narrative review-type literature study that analysed 21 research journals from 2015 to 2019, including 17 Indonesian-language journals, four English-language journals, two books, and four Minister of Health Regulations. The study shows that the characteristics of water reservoirs where Aedes mosquito larvae are often found are bathtubs as controllable sites. The water reservoir materials most often found positive for Aedes mosquito larvae are plastic, ceramic, cement, soil, metal, rubber, glass, soil, and aluminium with colours such as blue, white, grey, yellow, black, red, yellow, green, and orange. Conditions where the water reservoirs are open (not closed with cover), inside the house, and the water volumes of water reservoirs ranging from 2-20 L are more Aedes larvae are found. The research concludes that the characteristics of the material, surface, colour, volume of water reservoirs, and the condition of the cover, which is very risky for the presence of Aedes mosquito larvae, influence the water reservoirs. The characteristics of the water reservoirs can be a model for preventing Aedes mosquitoes from nesting and laying eggs.
