| dc.description.abstract | Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF), or abbreviated in Indonesian to “DBD”) is
an infectious disease which is caused by dengue virus. This type of disease is one of
the major health problems in Indonesia that results in illness and death. Indonesia is
ranked second after Thailand that has a high rate of an Extraordinary Outbreak
(“KLB”) of DHF.
The main DHF vector in Indonesia is Ae.aegypti. One of the possible alternatives
to curb the population of its larvae is by means of a chemical control mechanism
called abate. One of the abate products that is widely used in Indonesia is the Abate
formula of Sand Granules (SG). WHO has recommended that the abate be safe to use
and does not create side effects (intoxication) on human and pets. The test of the
extend of abate 1 SG with a dose of 0.025 gr in 250 ml of water with a number of
larvae instars of Ae.aegypti was conducted by strewing abate on a bowl containing
larvae with an absence of food or predator. This study is classified as an
experimental laboratorial research. Direct observations were performed by
identifying the number of dead larvae in accordance with the course of time (hour) up
to the death of all larvae.
The results of the experiment show that regarding the death speed of Ae.aegypti
larvae instars which is based on the course of time (hour) there is a difference with a
maximum period of seven hours. Larvae instars I died the earliest (the 4th hour),
larval instars II and III died at the 6th hour, and larva instars IV died the last (the 7th
hour). The result of the statistical test of Kruskall Wallis indicates a significance
value p=0.0001 or p<0,01,and then continued with test of Kolmogorov Smirnov
indicates a significance value p=0.002 or p<0,01. The figures have fulfilled the
objective and hypothesis of the research, and drawn a conclusion that there is
difference in the death speed of Ae.aegypti larvae instars I, II, II and IV with the
extend of abate 1 SG. | en_US |
