Indonesia is the country with the highest cases of dengue fever in Southeast Asia. The WHO estimates a 50–100 million dengue infections worldwide every year. Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is transmitted through the bite of female Aedes mosquitoes infected with the Dengue virus. Mosquitoes Aedes aegypti is the main vector of the dengue virus. At the time, there is no cure for dengue so that the control efforts are focused on breaking the chain of life cycles. One effort to prevent the transmission of the dengue virus is to avoid vector mosquito bites. Repellent can reduce exposure to the bite of mosquitoes infected with the dengue virus. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the extract of citrus hystrix leaf as a repellent against the Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. This research is a laboratory experimental study with a one-shot case study design. In this study, the extract of citrus hystrix solution was made at a concentration of 10%, 20%, and 30%, and then the extract solution was used as a stock to make a 100-gram base lotion that would be used as a repellent. Repellent effectiveness is seen from the percentage of repellent protection power. The percentage of repellant protection used with the basic ingredients of Citrus hystrix leaf extract at concentrations of 10%, 20%, and 30%, respectively, at 93.33% 94.67%, and 97.33%. The extract of citrus hystrix leaf was found to be effective as a repellent against Aedes aegypti mosquitoes.

Detection of viruses in human sera particularly in endemic areas is cumbersome and laborious. Therefore, an alternative approach, Immuno-fluorescence assay (IFA) was performed to determine dengue virus (DENV) positivity in mosquitoes. A total of 1055 adult Aedes aegypti female mosquitoes were tested for IFA test against DENV. Minimum infection rate (MIR) for DENV was found higher during August to November 2016 ranging from 10.75 to 20.83. The average yearly MIR was about 6.64. Higher MIR for Ae. aegypti was found in Sarfabad, Noida (12.71) and Khoda Colony, Ghaziabad (11.90). Minimum MIR (4.67) was observed in Sanjay colony (Faridabad). The main contribution of this study resides in the development of a more suitable monitoring system for early detection of viral circulation and to prioritize early intervention in the non-transmission season.

Efforts to determine the mosquito genes that affect dengue virus replication have identified a number of candidates that positively or negatively modify amplification in the invertebrate host. We used deep sequencing to compare the differential transcript abundances in Aedes aegypti 14 days post dengue infection to those of uninfected A. aegypti. The gene lethal(2)-essential-for-life [l(2)efl], which encodes a member of the heat shock 20 protein (HSP20) family, was upregulated following dengue virus type 2 (DENV-2) infection in vivo. The transcripts of this gene did not exhibit differential accumulation in mosquitoes exposed to insecticides or pollutants. The induction and overexpression of l(2)efl gene products using poly(I:C) resulted in decreased DENV-2 replication in the cell line. In contrast, the RNAi-mediated suppression of l(2)efl gene products resulted in enhanced DENV-2 replication, but this enhancement occurred only if multiple l(2)efl genes were suppressed. l(2)efl homologs induce the phosphorylation of eukaryotic initiation factor 2α (eIF2α) in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, and we confirmed this finding in the cell line. However, the mechanism by which l(2)efl phosphorylates eIF2α remains unclear. We conclude that l(2)efl encodes a potential anti-dengue protein in the vector mosquito.

Dengue hemorrhagic fever is a severe and fatal infection that occurs in tropical regions such as Indonesia. In 2014, recorded that dengue morbidity rate was 5.17 per 100,000 inhabitants (approximately 13031 cases) with mortality rate of 0.84% (110 deaths). Demographic and societal changes such as population growth, urbanization, and modern transportation appear to play an important role in the increased incidence and geographical spread of dengue virus. Aedes aegypti, the urban yellow fever mosquito, is also the principal dengue-carrying vector. The Aedes aegypti mosquitoes as a vector of dengue virus normally live and breed in clean water reservoirs that are not directly related to the land such as: bath, bird drinks, water pot, water jars / barrel, cans, old tires, etc. In Indonesia, dengue outbreaks often occur when the seasons change from dry to rain hor vice versa. This study aimed to figure out the influence of natural environment and the existence of the vector’s larva. A logistic regression was performed to ascertain the effects of temperature, humidity, water replacement and the existence of water reservoir on the likelihood of the existence of the vector’s larva . The logistic regression model was statistically significant, p < .005 and the model explained 69% (Nagelkerke R2). This finding shows that the existence of the mosquito’s larva, influenced by temperature, water replacement activity and the existence of water reservoir. Health education about vector control and environmental engineering are necessary to break the chain of mosquito breeding.

Effort to control DHF (Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever) vectors without toxic substances by using natural and enviromentally friendly materials was natural repellent made using plants that were widely available in the community.Many types of plants contain  various secondary metabolite compound substances that have the potential to be used as natural insecticides, especially as repellent of the Aedes Aegypti mosquito. The research needs  to be done to determine the effectiveness of basil leaves, citronella leaves, clove leaves and betel leaves as a repellent against Aedes Aegypti mosquitoes. This research method was an experiment in the laboratory. The materials used for this research were basil leaves, citronella leaves, clove leaves, and betel leaves. The extracted leaves were then made lotions with certain formulas, tested as a natural repellent against Aedes Aegypti mosquitoes. The concentrations used were 20%, 40% and 80% as well as negative control (0%) and positive control (brand x lotions). The number of mosquitoes used in the study were 25 x 4 treatments = 100 mosquitoes. The replication or repetition was done 10 times. To find out the difference in the number of Aedes Aegypti mosquitoes that perch on the hands of probandus which has been smeared with basil leaf, citronella leaf, clove leaf and betel leaf extracts uses Anova Statistical tests and kruskal wallis. To see the difference between concentrations was tested with LSD or Mann-Whitney test. The calculation result of the number of Aedes Aegypti mosquitoes that perch before and after applying the lotion, the lowest was the lotion of citronella leaf extract 0% (11); 20% (2); 40% (1); 80% (1); The highest protection capacity of extract lotion is citronella leaves with concetrations of 20% (81,1%); 40% (95%), 80%(98,2%); There were no significant differences between the lotion concentrations of 20% and 80%, while the concentration of 40% is significantly different. Then the LSD follow-up test finds that the protective capacity of lotion of clove leaf extract is negative and citronella leaf extract is positive. The most effective protection capacity against Aedes Aegypti mosquitoes was lotion of citronella leaf extract with concentration of 40% (95%) and a concentration of 80% (98,2%), proven by the value of protection capacity that is stable even though it has been used for up to 6 hours and can exceed the protection capacity of lotion x (90,3%). It is reccomended that further research needs to be developed to optimize the lotion of citronella leaf extract 40% and 80% with orgonolaptic test of color, aroma, stickness and comfort of its use.

Background: The incidence rate (IR) of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever per 100,000 population in Central Java has increased dramatically in five years. Banyumas Regency is an endemic area of ​​dengue hemorrhagic fever in Central Java Province. The cause of dengue hemorrhagic fever is four dengue viruses known as DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-3, and DEN-4. The purpose of this research is to detect transovarial dengue virus in Aedes aegypti mosquito in Banyumas Regency. Methods: The study was conducted by installing ovitrap in Mersi Village, East Purwokerto District, and in Pliken Village, Kembaran District, Banyumas Regency. The study was conducted by installing ovitrap in Mersi Village (9 samples) and Pliken Village (3 samples). The eggs obtained are hatched into larvae in the laboratory. The 3rd and 4th instar larvae were examined for the presence of dengue virus using the Elisa method. Result: The results showed that in Mersi Village, there were two positive samples, and in Pliken Village, there was one positive sample containing dengue virus. The presence of the dengue virus found in the hatched Aedes aegypti larvae (F1) indicates that there has been a transovarial dengue virus from the parent mosquito in its offspring. Conclusion: The study concluded that in Banyumas District, a dengue virus transovarial had occurred in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. The government and the community should increase efforts to eradicate mosquito nests (dengue hemorrhagic fever) to reduce the vector population of dengue hemorrhagic fever so that cases of dengue hemorrhagic fever can be eliminated.    Keyword: Transovarial dengue virus, Aedes aegypti, Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever
