Abstract

One of the efforts to prevent the spread of the Covid-19 virus is to spray disinfectants around their living environment. In this service activity, the service team divided the activities into several stages, namely (1) socialization of activities; (2) implementation of activities; and (3) activity evaluation. Socialization of activities carried out to provide information to the public about activities. The implementation of the activity begins with assistance in making disinfectants and continues with spraying disinfectants into public areas and residents' homes. The service activity was closed with an activity evaluation meeting which concluded that the spraying of disinfectants as an effort to prevent covid-19 could run well through a community empowerment program in Kupang Village, Ambarawa District.

Abstract

Wolbachia is a bacterium that generally occurs naturally in 50% of insect species, lives in insect cells, and is passed from one generation to the next through insect eggs. Wolbachia in the mosquito's body can inhibit the replication of the Dengue virus or other viruses. Based on the Decree of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia Number 1341 concerning the Implementation of the Pilot Project for the Implementation of Wolbachia as a Dengue Management Innovation, the application of this technology was carried out in five cities, namely Semarang City, West Jakarta, Bandung City, Kupang City, and Bontang City. The effectiveness of Wolbachia itself has been proven and researched since 2011, when it was conducted in Yogyakarta. As a result, Wolbachia was proven to reduce dengue fever cases by up to 77% and reduce the proportion of hospital admissions by 86%. This method of spreading Wolbachia mosquitoes in several cities will reduce local transmission of infection in those areas. This reduction in local transmission of dengue infection occurs both in the rainy and dry seasons. Scientifically, the success of the Wolbachia method is apparent, but the controversy is due to confused information circulating, giving rise to concern among the public. Vector control using Wolbachia is an alternative disease control method that uses mosquito vectors and is quite effective. However, the application of Wolbachia in the community must be monitored continuously to determine its impact on humans, local mosquitoes, and the ecosystem.
