Abstract

Introduction: Filariasis, a chronic infectious disease caused by filarial worms and transmitted by mosquitoes, remains a global public health issue, affecting 120 million people in 72 countries. Indonesia, with cases spread across 34 provinces, is one of the endemic countries. Preventive measures such as eliminating mosquito habitats, preventing mosquito bites, and implementing Mass Drug Administration (MDA) programs in endemic areas are essential to achieve filariasis elimination. This literature review aims to explore the correlation between these prevention practices and the incidence of filariasis to support elimination efforts. Material and Methods: Secondary data were sourced from databases including Google Scholar, PubMed, ResearchGate, SpringerLink, ScienceDirect, PLOS One, and Neliti. Using keywords such as prevention practices, Mass Drug Administration (MDA), risk factors, going out at night, bed nets, anti-mosquito repellent, wire netting, and filariasis, 30 research journals meeting the inclusion criteria and quality assessment were obtained. Results: The study results showed correlations between filariasis incidence and various prevention practices: 72.22% of studies (13 journals) with avoiding going out at night, 73.33% (11 journals) with using anti-mosquito repellent, 75% (12 journals) with using bed nets, 68.75% (11 journals) with using wire netting, and 92.31% (12 journals) with participating in Mass Drug Administration (MDA) programs. Conclusion: There were a correlation between no go out at night, the habit used of anti-mosquito repellent the used of bed net, wire netting, and taking Mass Drug Administration (MDA) programs with filariasis incidence.

Abstract

Approximately 2 billion people, equivalent to half of the world's population, suffer from toxoplasmosis. Toxoplasmosis is a disease caused by the parasite Toxoplasma gondii that infects cats as its definitive host. Not only cats, T. gondii can also infect animals such as chickens, cows, goats, pigs, and sheep that act as intermediate hosts, including humans. Both feral and pet cats have the potential to be infected with T. gondii. Toxoplasmosis infection in humans can cause various disorders and diseases such as obertus, encephalomyelitis, chorioretinitis, hydrocephalus in newborns, and infertility in women. This activity aims to improve the participants' understanding in terms of pet cat care and effective handling of stray cats in preventing toxoplasmosis infection. The stages of activities carried out began with pretest, socialisation, discussion, posttest, and documentation of activities. The results of this activity showed an increase in participants' knowledge and understanding related to toxoplasmosis, which can be seen from the increase in post-test scores compared to the pre-test scores.

Abstract

Background: Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a health problem in Indonesia, transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito. Bitter melon leaves contain active compounds such as saponins, alkaloids, and flavonoids belived to be effective as larvacides and are expected to serve as a more environmentally friendly alternative for mosquito control in preventing the spread of DHF.Objective: To determine the potential of natural biolarvacide from bitter melon leaf extract (Momordica charantia L.) against Aedes aegypti larvae.Methods: An experimental study was conducted at the Public Health Laboratory of Tanah Bumbu in July 2024. This experimental research used 375 Aedes aegypti larvae with five treatments and three repetitions, observing the number of larvae that died after 24 hours. The data were analyzed using the Shapiro-Wilk test, Levene's test, Kruskal-Wallis test, Mann-Whitney test, and probit analysis.Results: Bitter melon leaf extract at concentrations of 0,3% and 0,6% did not cause larval death, so it was not effective in inhibiting the growth of Aedes aegypti. While at concentrations of 0,9% showed a significant effect in inhibiting larval growth. The results of the Kruskal-Wallis test on the death of larvae treated with bitter melon leaf extract obtained a significance value of 0,008 (p <0,05). The results of the Mann-Whitney test showed that there was a significant difference between the concentration of 0,9% bitter melon leaf extract and the positive control abate, as well as between the negative control aquadest and the concentration of 0,9% bitter melon leaf extract. The results of the probit analysis test obtained an LC50 value of 1,202%.Conclusion: The 0.9% concentration of bitter melon leaf extract can inhibit the growth of Aedes aegypti larvae. However, it is not yet suitable as an alternative bio-larvicide.
