Title: Analysis relationship and mapping of the environmental factors with the existence of mosquito larva Aedes aegypti in the endemic area of dengue fever, Makassar, Indonesia
Abstract: Dengue fever is one of the dangerous diseases that can lead to a death in a short time and often lead to outbreaks. It is one of the major public health problems in Indonesia. Dengue is transmitted to humans by the bite of the female Aedes mosquito infected with dengue virus. The main transmission vector was Aedes aegypti mosquito that is able to proliferate well in many places water shelter. This study aims to determine the relationship and create an environmental mapping with the presence of the Aedes aegypti larvae in endemic regions of Makassar. The type of research is analytic survey with a cross-sectional design that conducted by observing the container as a breeding Aedes aegypti site in 200 homes of 5 endemic sub regencies. Sampling technique is done by proportional random sampling. The results showed that there was a relationship between the presence of humidity by the larvae of Aedes aegypti (p value: 0.027). Whereas no relationship between the temperature and pH to the existence of Aedes aegypti larvae (p value; 0, 345 and .514). To sum up, based on the mapping, it was found that the highest level of larvae was in Tamalanrea sub district. It is suggested to the community to reduce the potential breeding sites mainly water containers that used daily
