Abstract

Dengue fever is an infectious disease caused by the Dengue virus which is transmitted through mosquito bites. This disease causes symptoms of high fever, headache, and bone and muscle pain. If not treated properly, dengue fever is life threatening. The main symptom of dengue fever is a sudden increase in body temperature. Fever in dengue hemorrhagic fever generally lasts for 3 days. Fever can reach temperatures of 39-40°C and is difficult to reduce even if the patient has taken fever-reducing medication.Medicinal plants contain active compounds which can act as anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-plasmedial, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, anti-cancer, immunomodulator (improving the body's immune system) and so on. Several types of medicinal plants that have activity as immunomodulators include: echinacea, noni, ginger, meniran, and bitter (Wuryaningsih & Suranto, 2012). Currently, there are a lot of foods and drinks offered as supplement products that can improve body health, one of which is herbal drinks, which are drinks containing compounds that can have a positive effect on body health. One example of herbal drinks that can be found is herbal drinks from ginger, turmeric, etc. To overcome this problem, it is necessary to educate the public about types of medicinal plants, their properties, and how to process them appropriately based on an evidence-based scientific approach by adapting methods to these conditions.

Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) remains a significant public health challenge in Indonesia, with the increasing prevalence of cases every year. One of the key methods of controlling the spread of DHF is to target the vector, Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, by eradicating their larvae. However, the widespread and continuous use of chemical larvicides has raised concerns regarding the development of mosquito resistance and environmental pollution. This community service activity aimed to provide students at Duta Karya Vocational High School with knowledge and practical skills to use natural, eco-friendly alternatives for controlling mosquito larvae, focusing on papaya seeds (Carica papaya) and alum as natural larvicides. The methods for this activity included interactive counseling, a demonstration on how to produce larvicides using papaya seeds and alum, and an engaging question-and-answer session. Thirty 12th-grade students from the Pharmacy class participated in this activity. The results revealed that the activity was highly effective in increasing the students' understanding and practical ability to independently create and apply natural larvicides. The students expressed a high level of enthusiasm and interest in the topic, actively participating in the discussions and demonstrations. As a result of this community service, the school has expressed interest in incorporating this activity into its School Health Unit (UKS) work program, which will further promote the use of natural, sustainable methods for controlling mosquito populations. The students, now equipped with the necessary skills, are ready to become "jumantik" cadres—community health volunteers responsible for monitoring and preventing mosquito larvae development. This initiative also raised awareness about utilizing organic waste, such as papaya seeds, to create valuable products for the prevention of DHF.
