Spatial Mapping of Aedes Sp. Densities and Endemicity Level of Dengue in Three Villages in South Sulawesi, Indonesia

Abstract

Abstract The study aim to analyze the spatial map of the density of Aedes sp., several measurement methods, and the relationship between environmental factors with mosquito density in Makassar City, Maros and Gowa Cities. The research method used an ecological study design. In this study, surveys of larvae, ovitrap and Lighttrap were be used to measure the density of Aedes sp. Data processing using SPSS version 22 and Arview GIS 10.5. The results that spatial analysis showed a random pattern or spread of density of larvae, ovitrap and adult mosquitoes. the Larva and Ovitrap survey methods were specific measured the density of Dengue vectors (larvae, eggs and adult mosquitoes Aedes aegypti ) while the Light Trap method was not specific. There was a significant relationship between temperature, humidity and egg density and Aedes aegypti mosquitoes in three DHF endemic sub-districts; except humidity and mosquito density was not significant in Bontoa Village of Maros Regency (p> 0.05). There was no significant relationship between the wire netted ventilation factor and the density of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes in the three DHF endemic sub-districts except for the mosquito density there was a significant relationship in Bontoa Village, Maros Regency.
