Abstract Dengue fever is a vector-borne disease with Aedes aegypti as the main vector. Vector controls currently depended on insecticide. Considering the negative effect of insecticide, Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) was developed. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of gamma-ray irradiation on the productivity of male Ae. aegypti. Male pupae age less than 15 hours were irradiated with 60 Gy and 70 Gy gamma-ray. When the pupae became adult, the sterile males mated with the same age females Aedes aegypti. Observation on fecundity, hatchability, and age was carried out until the second generation. Gamma-ray irradiation with the dose of 60 Gy and 70 Gy showed different effects on fecundity, egg hatchability, the emergence of the adult, and age of Aedes aegypti compared to control. Abstrak Demam berdarah merupakan penyakit tular vektor  yang sampai saat ini masih menjadi masalah kesehatan secara global. Vektor utama yang berperan pada penyebaran penyakit DBD yaitu nyamuk Aedes aegytpi. Pengendalian vektor saat ini sangat bergantung pada penggunaan insektisida. Dampak negatif penggunaan insektisida menyebabkan pengembangan pengendalian vektor yang lain diantaranya yaitu Teknik Serangga Mandul (TSM). Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk menganalisis produktivitas Ae. aegypti jantan iradiasi hingga generasi kedua. Pupa jantan umur <15 jam diradiasi sinargamma dosis 60 Gy dan 70 Gy. Setelah menjadi nyamuk jantan dewasa segeradikawinkan dengan nyamuk betina tidak iradiasi dengan umur yang sama. Pengamatan dilakukan terutama terhadap fekunditas, daya tetas, kemunculan nyamuk, dan umurnyamuk hingga generasi kedua. Iradiasi sinar gamma dosis 60 Gy dan 70 Gymenghasilkan dampak yang berbeda terhadap fekunditas, daya tetas telur, kemunculan nyamuk dan umur nyamuk bila dibandingkan dengan kontrol.

In April 2013, ten cases of dengue fever in travellers returning from Luanda, Angola, to five countries on four continents, were reported to the globally distributed GeoSentinel Surveillance network. Dengue virus serotype 1 was identified in two cases. The findings indicate that a major dengue outbreak is currently ongoing in Luanda. This report illustrates how cases from an emerging arboviral epidemic focus can spread internationally and highlights the risk of dissemination of a vector-borne disease into receptive areas

Mosquitoes are vectors of many pathogens which causes serious human diseases like Malaria, Filariasis, Japanese encephalitis, Dengue fever, Chikungunya, Yellow fever and Zika virus which constitute a major public health problem globally. Mosquito borne diseases cause high level of economic impact all over the world and result in millions of death every year. They infect around 700,000,000 people annually worldwide and 40,000,000 only in India. The continuous use of synthetic pesticides to control vector mosquitoes has caused physiological resistance, toxic effect on human health, environmental pollution and addition to these, its adverse effects can be observed on non-target organisms. Synthetic chemical pesticides have been proved to be effective, but overall in last 5 decades indiscriminate use of synthetic pesticides against vector borne disease control have originated several ecological issues due to their residual accumulation and development of resistance in target vectors and their chronic effects.
