STUDI KOMUNITAS NYAMUK PENYEBAB FILARIASIS DI DESA BOJONG KABUPATEN LAMPUNG TIMUR
ABSTRACT: Filariasis is a disease
caused by species of filarial worms Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi and
Brugia timori and spread by the Anopheles mosquito, and Culex sp Mansonia sp.
It is known that nematodes cause filariasis in District Sekampung Udik East
Lampung district are a species Brugia sp. This study was conducted in one of
the houses in the village of Bojong filariasis patients in March-May 2013. The
arrest of mosquitoes made 1 times a week for 1 month from the hours 18: 00-06:
00. The method used for catching mosquitoes is to use bait human foot (human
landing) for 20 minutes, and break every 5 minutes. The arrest was made by
investigators assisted by two local residents by using the tool aspirometer.
Mosquitoes were then taken to the Laboratory of Parasitology Entomology section
of the Faculty of Medicine, the University of Gadjah Mada in Yogyakarta for
mosquitoes identified using identification keys. Besides observations to the
environmental conditions around the homes of people. From the results obtained
in 1020 catching mosquitoes which consists of seven species of mosquito that
is; Culex tritaeniorhynchus (420), Cx. fasciatus (48), Mansonia uniformis
(152), Ma. dives (56), Ma. annulifera (4), Ma. annulata (4) and mosquito
Anopheles (336). State of the environment in the village of Bojong subdistrict
Sekampung Udik the form fields as rubber, cocoa, swamps, paddy fields
potentially provide breeding grounds for mosquitoes filariasis. Further
research is needed to determine the value of microfilaria rate and mosquito vector
bionomics of filariasis.
