Abstract

Zodia leaves (Evodia suaveolens) are endemic plants of Indonesia originating from Papua, widely known for their natural mosquito-repelling properties. Traditionally, local communities use these leaves by rubbing them directly onto the skin to avoid mosquito and insect bites. Zodia leaves contain active compounds that produce a distinctive aroma disliked by mosquitoes, making them an effective natural repellent. One of the diseases transmitted by mosquitoes is malaria, which attacks human red blood cells and is spread through the bite of Anopheles mosquitoes. A high population of mosquito larvae and adults in an area increases the risk of malaria transmission. Although vector control is commonly carried out using synthetic insecticides that provide rapid results, these chemicals may lead to negative effects such as insecticide resistance in mosquitoes and environmental pollution. Therefore, safer and more sustainable alternatives for vector control are urgently needed. The use of zodia leaves as a natural mosquito repellent is considered effective and environmentally friendly. This potential should be further explored as an alternative solution in the prevention of vector-borne diseases, particularly malaria, using an approach that prioritizes public health and environmental sustainability.

Abstract

Malaria remains a significant public health problem in Papua. Keerom is one of the districts with a high incidence of malaria. This study aims to evaluate the performance of the Rapid Diagnostic Test (RDT) in comparison to microscopic examination, the gold standard for malaria diagnosis. This descriptive analytic study involved 40 suspected malaria patients at Arso III Health Center, Skanto District, Keerom Regency, Papua. Blood samples were examined using thick blood smears, thin blood smears, and the Care Start RDT. The study employed a cross-sectional design with purposive sampling. Microscopic examination identified five positive cases, corresponding to 12.5 percent, while the RDT detected nine positive cases, representing 22.5 percent of the total. The diagnostic analysis of the RDT revealed a sensitivity of 100 percent, a specificity of 88.6 percent, a positive predictive value of 55.6 percent, and a negative predictive value of 100 percent. The McNemar test showed a significant difference, p = 0.046. RDT proved reliable for excluding malaria, as no false-negative results were found. However, positive results require confirmation by microscopy or PCR to avoid misidentification and treatment errors.
