Abstract. Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is still a problem in some countries, resulting in 390 millioninfections a year in the world. DHF vaccine has not found so the treatment is focused on vector controls.Entomological data describing the bio ecology of vectors in the region can help vector control diseases moreeffectively. The study aims at assessing distribution, characteristic and risk factors in the habitat of Aedes larvain the DHF endemic region of West Ranomeeto subdistrict of Southeast Sulawesi province. This study is ananalytic observational study with a sectional study approach. Data collection was carried out using singlelarva method in 600 houses by purposive sampling. Data analysis uses chi square’s descriptive analysis andlogistics multinomial regression. The result shows larva density in Sindangkasih higher than Jati Bali. Ae.aegypti dominated in Sindangkasih and Ae. albopictus dominated in Jati Bali. Buckets, dispenser tray,refrigerator tray, container made of cements and plastics and container with volume <1 L and 20-100 L arerisk factors affected the exixtence of larvae in Sindangkasih (p<0.05). Plastic containers and dark-coloredcontainer are risk factors that influence the larva’s existence in Jati Bali (p<0.05). Differences in charateristicsof the larvae affect mosquito oviposition in Sindangkasih and Jati Bali. Therefore, it is important to monitorvector populations dynamic and breeding mosquito to prevent outbreak.Keywords: Ae. aegypti, Ae. albopictus, , Sindangkasih, Jati Bali, larval habitat
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
