Residents with a history of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) have the potential to be a source of dengue transmission, because of Antibody-dependent Enhancement (ADE) phenomena. East Ungaran district is one of DHF endemic area, in Central Java. Kawengen village has the highest risk of DHF outbreaks in East Ungaran. Important step is needed, to prevent transmission of DHF. By knowing the population profile of male mosquitoes, it can be easily estimated the number of fertile female mosquitoes. This study aimed to know profile distribution of male DHF potential vector in Kawengen village. Population of this study was all of mosquito in Kawengen area. The sample was trapped by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) miniature lighttrap and taken with total sampling technique. This is qualitative research. Using entomology surveillance through a descriptive observational research approach with cross sectional design. The survey form is using the Magpi 5.5.7 application to collect diversity mosquito, male:female mosquitoes,and vegetation. The results found an Aedes, Culex, and Mansonia. Proportion male:female of mosquito are Culex(67.56%), Aedes(29.73%),and Mansonia(2.71%). Density of male mosquitoes was lower than female,and vegetation was highly potential as resting also breeding site. So, it is assumed there are low number of fertile female mosquitoes.
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.
