Abstract

Malaria control in Indonesia has been facing various challenges and obstacles, especially in Eastern Indonesia. Several strategies have been carried out to achieve national elimination by 2030. This study aims to explore innovative strategies for controlling malaria in Fakfak Regency, West Papua Province which is one of the malaria endemic areas in eastern Indonesia. This type of research is a qualitative study using in-depth interviews with malaria program managers (n=6). The interview process was recorded through the zoom-meeting application and then transcription of the interview results was used to conduct content analysis. The results showed that the Bela Kaca Innovation (Bebas Malaria Kampung Bercahaya), which was initiated by the Fakfak Regency Health Office, hassucceeded significantly in reducing malaria cases in the last 5 years. This program fights malaria from village to village by involving all parties in the Malaria Center. The innovation of Bela Kaca is carried out by attacking and defending strategies. The attacks are carried out intensively in villages that had 5 or more malaria cases within two months by mass screening, indoor residual spraying (IRS), surveys of insecticide-treated mosquito nets and vector control until cases become zero. The survival strategy is carried out if there are no malaria cases, then surveillance is carried out strictly, if cases are found, then the 1-2-5 method is used. In conclusion, Bela Kaca control innovation can be one of the efforts to accelerate malaria elimination that is supported by the community and stakeholders

Abstract

Malaria is a re-emerging disease. According to the Ministry of Health, malaria cases in Indonesia are second only after India in Southeast Asia. The Special Region of Yogyakarta is one of the cities with the most malaria endemic, precisely in Kulon Progo Regency. Malaria cases in Kulon Progo Regency are experiencing fluency. Kulon Progo Regency itself received a malaria elimination certificate in 2022. Maintenance of malaria elimination can be done by knowing the mapping of malaria vector receptive areas. This study aims to determine the type of Anopheles mosquito larval habitat, determine the coordinates of Anopheles mosquito larval habitat, determine the Anopheles mosquito larval habitat index, and determine the mapping of malaria vector receptive areas in Kulon Progo Regency. The quantitative descriptive research method used spatial analysis with malaria vector receptive areas mapping in Kulon Progo Regency. Inclusion criteria were villages surveyed for malaria mosquito larvae in the mosquito vector survey activities carried out by the Kulon Progo Regency Health Office and Puskesmas in Kulon Progo Regency in 2023. The habitats found in Kulon Progo Regency are rivers, neighborhoods around houses, irrigation, ponds, rice fields, and lagoons, with the most positive habitats in rivers at 35%. Coordinate points are drawn according to the type of habitat found. The highest Anopheles mosquito larval habitat index in Kulon Progo Regency is Kalirejo Village, with a habitat index of 74%, and there are 19 malaria vector receptive villages based on the Anopheles mosquito larval habitat index. The mapping of receptive areas can be used as a reference formalaria prevention and control efforts in the Kulon Progo Regency.

Abstract

Mosquitoe vectors of filariasis must have a long life so that the parasite can complete its life cycle in the mosquito’s body. Mosquitoes with high parity are generally more at risk of transmitting pathogens, as they have made more bites on hosts that have the potential to carry the infection. This study aims to detect the potential of mosquito vectors by calculating the parity number and examining the causative agent in the mosquito’s body. Mosquito parity examination was based on the results of mosquito ovary dissecting during a capture period. Detection of the causative agent was carried out by dissecting tecnique and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The results showed that the parity rate of mosquitoes caught in Tamansari Village and Cimanggis Village was very high (>80%). Detectionof the causative agent using surgical and PCR methods did not find any L3 larvae and microfilariae in the examined mosquitoes.

Abstract

 Organic waste has significantly increased, especially in Indonesia, reaching 14.73 million tons in 2023. The accumulation of organic waste can serve as a breeding ground for various disease vectors, hence the need for an effective organic waste management system. One economical method that can effectively manage organic waste is the use of decomposer fluids or decomposer organisms such as BSF larvae. This study was conducted to determine whether the addition of Effective Microorganism (EM4), Local Microorganism, and Eco-Enzyme decomposer fluids affects the bioconversion rate of Black Soldier Fly larvae and the quality of the resulting compost. This research is a true experimental study. The variables tested in this study were the type of decomposer fluid substrate as the independent variable and the Waste Reduction Index, Substrate Consumption, and compost residue quality as dependent variables. This study tested the influence and differences in variants between variable X and variables Y1 and Y2 using Exponential Regression Test and ANOVA Test. The highest WRI value (16.11%/day) was obtained from the eco-enzyme group, and the highest SC value was obtained from the eco-enzyme group (96.65%). Based on the results of the Exponential Regression Test, it was found that the administration of decomposer fluid substrates has a very strong positive correlation with WRI and SC values. Based on the results of the ANOVA test, it was found that there were significant differences between the independent variable and the dependent variable. And the quality of the compost residue from the 4 experimental groups met the SNI 19-7030-2004 standard. This study concludes that the administration of decomposer fluid substrates in the BSF larvae decomposition process has a strong influence on WRI, SC, and compost residue quality.

Abstract

The increasing cases of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) in Indonesia demands effective, affordable, and environmentally friendly vector control strategies. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of recycled water-based attractants in improving the Larvae-Free Index (Angka Bebas Jentik/ABJ) compared to conventional water and brown sugar plus yeast attractants. The study was conducted over nine weeks in three hamlets with homogeneous environmental characteristics in Pangkep Regency, South Sulawesi. Simple ovitraps were used to attract gravid female mosquitoes, while ABJ was measured through the inspection of natural containers. The results showed that recycled water significantly increased ABJ, reaching 96.08% in the eighth week, higher than conventional water (53.03%) and brown sugar plus yeast (37.50%). One-way ANOVA revealed a significant difference among attractant groups (p = 0.000), and further analysis using the Post-hoc Tukey test confirmed significant differences between recycled water and the other two attractants. In conclusion, recycled water proved to be an effective attractant for diverting mosquito oviposition from natural containers to ovitraps, thereby increasing environmental ABJ. This method has potential as a practical, sustainable, and community-based solution for vector control in dengue-endemic areas.

Abstract

 Pregnant women are vulnerable to malaria infection, especially in highly endemic regions. Malaria infection in pregnancy can cause fetal growth restrictions and increase the risk of maternal death. This study aimed to perform malaria screening as well as identify maternal and fetal development and environmental factors that contribute to malaria transmission. This was a cross-sectional design. The study was conducted from January to March 2024 at the Naena Muktipura health center, Mimika. Every pregnant woman who visited the health center for ANC was examined in terms of weight, blood pressure, mid-upper arm circumference, fetal heart rate, malaria screening, and larval mosquito surveillance around the house. Malaria screening was done using RDT (Rapid Diagnostic Test). The types of stagnant water were recorded; larvae and larval genus were identified. A total of 14 pregnant women had ANC (Ante natal care); there were 34 ANC examinations within three months. The results of the ANC examination showed that the mothers and fetuses were in normal condition. The compliance to ANC for the pregnant mothers in the first, second, and third trimester was 100%, 75% and 60%, respectively. In fact, 100% of the pregnant women were not infected with Plasmodium, but 6 out of 21 locations of stagnant water around the houses of these pregnant women were confirmed to contain Anopheles sp. larvae. All pregnant women were not infected with Plasmodium, but the house condition and the presence of stagnant water with confirmed Anopheles larvae caused a risk for malaria transmission.

Abstract

Abstract. German cockroaches in Indonesia have developed resistance to various insecticides. Although cases of german cockroach resistance have been reported in several areas in Indonesia, there have been no reports of such resistance cases in Purwokerto. The specific purpose of this study was to determine the resistance status of german cockroaches from three traditional markets (pasar) in Purwokerto to fipronil. The method used was the contact and bait method, using ten male cockroaches and repeated five times for each strain. The data obtained were analyzed using probit analysis to calculate the time of  death (Lethal Time), and then the resistance level was calculated. The results showed that the time of death (LT50) for field cockroaches using the contact method, the highest resistance level was obtained from the Pasar-1 strain with an LT50 value of 3.05 hours, while the lowest was in the Pasar-3 strain with an LT50 value of 1.83 hours. In testing with the bait method using gel bait containing 0.03% fipronil, the LT50 value of cockroaches from Pasar-1 was 14.16 hours, while cockroaches from Pasar-3 had an LT50 value of 8.02 hours. The resistance ratio value (RR50) calculation showed that all cockroaches from three traditional markets in the city of Purwokerto did not show resistance to fipronil which was tested with the resistance ratio value of all field strains below 1. Susceptible to insecticides with the active ingredient fipronil. The active ingredient fipronil in bait formulations may be used for monitoring and control of German cockroaches. Abstrak. Lipas jerman telah resisten terhadap berbagai macam insektisida, dibuktikan dengan adanya kasus resistensi lipas jerman yang dilaporkan terjadi di beberapa wilayah di Indonesia. Meskipun demikian, di wilayah Kota Purwokerto sampai saat ini belum ada laporan mengenai kasus resistensi tersebut. Tujuan khusus penelitian ini adalah mengetahui status resistensi lipas jerman dari tiga pasar tradisional yang ada di Kota Purwokerto terhadap fipronil. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode kontak dan umpan dengan menggunakan sepuluh ekor lipas jantan dan diulang lima kali untuk masing-masing strain. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis menggunakan analisis probit untuk menghitung waktu kematian (Lethal Time), untuk kemudian dihitung tingkat resistensinya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa waktu kematian (LT50) lipas lapangan menggunakan metode kontak pada tingkat resistensitertinggi adalah dari strain Pasar-1 dengan nilai LT50 sebesar 3,05 jam, sedangkan terendah adalah strain Pasar-3 dengan nilai LT50 sebesar 1,83 jam. Hasil pengujian dengan metode umpan menggunakan gel bait mengandung fipronil 0.03% diperoleh nilai LT50 lipas asal Pasar-1 sebesar 14,16 jam, sedangkan lipas dari Pasar-3 mempunyai nilai LT50 sebesar 8,02 jam. Hasil penghitungan nilai rasio resistensi (RR50) menunjukkan bahwa semua lipas asal tiga pasar tradisional di Kota Purwokerto tidak menunjukkan resistensi terhadap fipronil yang diujikan dengan nilai rasio resistensi semua strain lapangan di bawah 1. Simpulan hasil penelitian ini adalah lipas strain pasar tradisional di Kota Purwokerto masih rentan terhadap insektisida berbahan aktif fipronil. Bahan aktif fipronil dalam formulasi umpan dimungkinkan untuk digunakan dalam monitoring dan pengendalian lipas jerman.

Abstract

Abstract. One of the efforts to prevent Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever is to control its vector, namely the Aedes aegypti. Research on mosquito repellents using natural active ingredients has developed a lot, for example, coriander seed extract oil (Coriandrum sativum L.). However, its pure extract is volatile and less effective when used directly as a repellent. The study aimed to analyze the effect of the hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) gelling agent on the protective duration and power of coriander seed oil gel as a repellent against Aedes aegypti. The method used was a true experimental with posttest-only control group design. The treatment group was given coriander seed oil gel using HPMC concentrations of 7.5%, 10%, and 12.5% with six replications. The control group consisted of positive control, namely pure 60% coriander seed extract in 96% ethanol and negative control, namely the arm without any spread. Data analysis used the Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis test with a confidence level of 95%. The result showed that 7,5% of HPMC had the least number of Aedes aegypti landed for at least 6 hours with an average perch of 3.2%. The temperature and humidity of the research room were homogeneous. The addition of HPMC has increased protection and duration against the Aedes aegypti. The 7,5% HPMC result was complies to the Pesticide Commission’s standards (1995) with an average protective power of 97% for 6 hours. In conclusion, gelling agents such as HPMC can be an alternative to increase the protective power of for 6 hours. Abstrak. Satu upaya pencegahan penyakit Demam Berdarah Dengue adalah dengan mencegah kontak manusia dan vektornya, yaitu Aedes aegypti. Penelitian repelen nyamuk menggunakan bahan aktif dari alam telah banyak dilakukan, contohnya minyak ekstrak biji ketumbar (Coriandrum sativum L.). Akan tetapi, ekstrak murni biji ketumbar mudah menguap dan kurang efektif apabila digunakan secara langsung sebagai repelan Aedes aegypti. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh variasi konsentrasi gelling agent hidroksipropil metilselulosa (HPMS) terhadap lama waktu perlindungan dan daya proteksi gel minyak biji ketumbar sebagai repelen terhadap Aedes aegypti. Metode penelitian ini adalah eksperimen murni dengan desain posttest-only control group design. Kelompok perlakuan diberi gel minyak biji ketumbar menggunakan konsentrasi HPMS 7,5%; 10%; dan 12,5% dengan 6 kali replikasi. Kelompok kontrol terdiri dari kontrol positif yaitu ekstrak biji ketumbar murni konsentrasi 60% dalam etanol 96% dan kontrol negatif yaitu lengan tanpa olesan apapun. Analisa data menggunakan uji Mann–Whitney dan Kruskal-Wallis dengan taraf kepercayaan 95%. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa HPMS 7,5% memiliki jumlah nyamuk hinggap paling sedikit selama 6 jam pengamatan dengan rerata hinggap 3,2%. Suhu dan kelembaban ruang penelitian homogen. Penambahan HPMS terbukti memberikan peningkatan daya proteksi dan lama perlindungan yang sebelumnya belum maksimal terhadap nyamuk Aedes aegypti. Konsentrasi HPMS 7,5% sesuai standart Komisi Pestisida (1995) dengan rerata daya proteksinya adalah 97% selama 6 jam. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah gelling agent seperti HPMS dapat menjadi alternatif untuk meningkatkan daya proteksi selama 6 jam perlindungan.
