PERBEDAAN EFEKTIFITAS MINYAK ATSIRI BUNGA KENANGA (CANANGA ODORATA ) SEBAGAI REPELAN TERHADAP GIGITAN NYAMUK AEDES AEGYPTI DENGAN KONSENTRASI 5%, 15% DAN 25%
Abstract: Dengue hemorrhagic
fever (DHF) is a disease caused by a vector which is still a problem in
Indonesia, therefore the efforts are made to prevent mosquito bites is very
important. One of the ways to prevent Aedes aegypti bites is by using repellent
as a personal protector. Repellent mechanism is contained in the smell of
essential oils that seep into the pores of the skin and body heat, environment;
essential oils evaporate into the air. This odor will be detected by chemical
receptors found on the antennae of mosquito that it is transmitted to nerve
impulses, and those impulses respond to the brain so those mosquitoes will
express themselves to avoid that smell. This study aims to determine the
effectiveness of essential oils as repellent ylang flowers against Aedes
aegypti mosquito bites. This study is a true experiment with a completely
randomized design (completely randomized designed). The treatment group
consisted of giving flowers ylang essential oil at a concentration of 5%, 15%
and 25%. Negative control group was without treatment and a positive control
group was using DEET. The analysis used in this study consisted of a non-parametric
test of Kruskal-Wallis and Mann Whitney test. The results of the study
Kruskal-Wallis test showed that there is effective ylang flower essential oil
(Cananga odorata) as repellent against mosquito bites Aedes aegypti with a
concentration of 5%, 15% and 25% (p = 0.009, p = 0.022, p = 0.030). At the Mann
Whitney test showed no difference in the effectiveness of essential oils ylang
flower (Cananga odorata) as repellent in the treatment group and the control
group. This formula can be used to determine the power of essential oils
repellent DR = (K-P) / K x 100%. . Effectiveness flower ylang essential oil at
a concentration of 5%, 15% and 25%, respectively for 87%, 91% and 100%. Based
on research that is done, in concentration of 25% the flowers ylang essential
oil can be used as repellent for Aedes aegypti mosquitoes bite
