Pemetaan Tempat Perkembangbiakan Potensial Anopheles sp. di Tempat Wisata Pangandaran

Abstract

Abstract. Most Malaria cases in West Java were concentrated in the southern coast region and one of themis Pangandaran district. There were still many potential sites for Anopheles sp. breeding place inPangandaran, so that the Regency was categorized as a receptive area. This study aimed to identify thespread of potential breeding sites for Anopheles sp. in Pangandaran Regency. The data were collected usinga spatial method in all of the areas in Pangandaran District. Data collecting was done by mapping thepositive breeding sites of Anopheles sp. which was then overlayed with a map of the tourist destination inPangandaran Regency. The larvae found were identified as An. aconitus, An. annularis, An. barbirostris, An.identifinitus, An. maculatus, An. subpictus, An. sundaicus and An. Vagus. All of the species found werepotentially became malaria vectors. There seven positive breeding sites were found which six of them locatedin tourism areas that were the Districts of Pangandaran, Cimerak, Parigi, Kalipucang, Sidamulih, andCijulang. It was concluded that Pangandaran still has the potential for malaria transmission both for localtransmission and for the potential entry of imported malaria.

Faktor-faktor yang Mempengaruhi Praktik Keamanan dalam Penggunaan Insektisida Rumah Tangga di Kecamatan Pangandaran

“…Namun, ada bahaya mengintai dibalik indahnya Pangandaran, karena hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya keberadaan vektor DBD 12,13 dan vektor malaria 14,15 di Kabupaten Pangandaran. Hasil penelitian Hendri dkk menunjukkan vektor DBD di Pasar Wisata Kabupaten Pangandaran termasuk kategori sedang dengan nilai House Index (HI) sebesar 29,20 %, Container Index (CI) 9,30 % dan Breteau Index (BI) sebesar 40,6%.…”

“…13 Selain itu hasil penelitian Ridwan dkk, menunjukkan di tujuh kecamatan terdapat tempat perkembangbiakan Anopheles spp dengan enam kecamatan diantaranya berada di daerah tujuan wisata. 15 Dalam upaya pengendalian DBD, Kusumastuti mengatakan bahwa masyarakat Pangandaran menggunakan beberapa jenis insektisida rumah tangga yang terdiri dari obat nyamuk bakar, elektrik (cair dan keeping padat/mat), semprot, dan oles/repelen. Namun, ketidaktahuan masyarakat mengenai dampak negatif penggunaan insektisida menjadikan insektisida masih merupakan upaya dominan dalam menghindari gangguan nyamuk.…”
