Abstract

Background: Lymphatic filariasis (LF) drug treatment compliance remains a challenge in Eastern Indonesia. Aims: The study sought to determine which aspects of Eastern Indonesia's LF drug treatment compliance policies were most pertinent. Methods: The 2018 Indonesian Basic Health Survey data was employed. The analysis units were adults (≥ 15 years) who had received LF drug treatment. LF drug treatment compliance was analyzed based on respondent characteristics (age, gender, marital status, education, occupation, wealth and comorbidities) using binary logistic regression. Results: The proportion of adherence to LF treatment in Eastern Indonesia was 73.1%. Respondent characteristics that influenced LF treatment compliance were age group > 24 (aOR = 1.374, 95% CI: 1.305-1.447), female (aOR = 1.307, 95% CI: 1.263-1.353), all educated respondent status (aOR = 2.152, 95% CI: 2.043-2.268), and all employed respondents (aOR = 1.437, 95% CI: 1.365 - 1.512). Married respondents and those with all levels of wealth status were less likely to take LF drug treatment. Conclusion: Policy focus on improving LF treatment compliance among the younger male, the less educated, the unemployed, and those with lower social economic status.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze entomological indicators and the susceptibility status of the Aedes aegypti mosquito to cypermethrin in the Tanjung Balai Karimun Port Health Office area. Methods: This type of study is observational, using a cross-sectional design approach. Entomology indicator data collection is carried out routinely every month by observing containers in each building both inside and outside. The vulnerability test uses the WHO susceptibility test method. Results: The results of entomological indicators in the perimeter area showed no density of Aedes aegypti mosquito larvae. In contrast, the density of larvae in the buffer area was low to moderate. A susceptibility test showed that 0.05% cypermethrin was still susceptible to Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. Conclusion: These findings underscore the efficacy of the current control measures implemented in the study area and emphasize the critical need for continuous monitoring and surveillance. Maintaining such efforts is paramount for sustaining effective mosquito control initiatives and mitigating the potential risks posed by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, thereby reducing the threat of vector-borne disease.
