Filariasis termasuk penyakit parasit tular vektor. Kabupaten Aceh Jaya merupakan satu dari beberapa kabupaten di Provinsi Aceh sebagai wilayah endemis filariasis. Pelaksanaan program pengendalian filariasis pemberian obat massal pencegahan sudah dilakukan dari tahun 2011. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mendapatkan gambaran pengetahuan kader dan tokoh masyarakat terhadap filariasis di Kabupaten Aceh Jaya. Penelitian ini bersifat cross sectional  yang pengumpulan data dilakukan pada Bulan Juli-Oktober 2017. Data dianalasis secara tematik kualitatif dan diinterpretasikan dalam bentuk narasi. Berdasarkan hasil analisis dari 5 pertanyaan yang diajukan tidak semua informan mampu menjelaskan dengan tepat. Dari 6 informan yang terlibat, semua informan tidak mengetahui istilah filariasis namun mengerti penyakitnya yang disebut barah atau entoet. Empat  informan berpendapat bahwa filariasis adalah penyakit akibat di gigit nyamuk  namun bukan penyakit menular, sedangkan 2 informan lainnya menyatakan filariasis adalah penyakit menular dan dapat ditularkan secara keturunan. Untuk infromasi bahwa filariasis tidak dapat di sembuhkan, 5 informan menyatakan tidak tahu. Namun, untuk informasi apakah filariasis berbahaya, ke 6 informan menyatakan berbahaya karena tidak bisa beraktivitas. Berdasarkan hasil analisis tersebut dapat dikatakan bahwa pengetahuan kader dan tokoh masyarakat kurang baik tentang filariasis. Oleh karena itu, kader dan tokoh masyarakat diharapkan dapat diberikan pelatihan atau penyuluhan tentang filariasis agar kader dan tokoh masyarakat dapat mendukung keberhasilan program filariasis.   Filariasis is a vector-borne parasitic disease. Aceh Jaya District is one of several districts in Aceh Province as a filariasis endemic area. The implementation of the filariasis control program for the provision of preventive mass drugs has been carried out since 2011. The purpose of this study was to obtain an overview of the knowledge of cadres and community leaders about filariasis in Aceh Jaya Regency. This study is a cross sectional study with data collection conducted in July-October 2017. Data analyzed thematic qualitatively and interpreted in a narrative form. Based on the results of the analysis of the 5 questions asked, not all informants were able to comment properly. Of the 6 informants involved, all informants did not know about filariasis but did know about a large and swollen foot disease called barrah or entoet. Four informants argued that filariasis is a disease caused by mosquito bites but not a contagious disease, while 2 other informants stated that filariasis is a contagious disease and can be transmitted by generations. For information that filariasis cannot be cured, 5 informants stated that they did not know. However, for information on whether filariasis is dangerous, the 6 informants stated that it is dangerous because they cannot do activities. Based on the results of the analysis, it can be said that the knowledge of cadres and community leaders is not good about filariasis. Therefore, cadres and community leaders are expected to be given training or counseling on filariasis so that cadres and community leaders can support the success of the filariasis program.

Background: CRC incidence is increasing in our region. There is no specific CRC control program or national cancer registry in Pakistan. Previously no data has been published on presentation and diagnosis delay of CRC in our region. This study is conducted to determine the factor affecting delay in presentation and diagnosis and to provide baseline information to launch a CRC control program. Primary objective is to determine factor causing delay in diagnosis of CRC. Secondary objective is to evaluate relationship between tumor site and stage of CRC with presenting symptoms and symptom duration. Methods: This project is a prospective cross-sectional study on 113 biopsy-proven CRC patients admitted to the surgical ward of civil hospital Karachi. Results: A total number of participants was 113. Presentation delay was observed in 83.2% of patients. The main reasons for a reported delay in the presentation were lack of patients’ knowledge that these symptoms may be cancer (60.4%), the wrong diagnosis by the primary physician (34.6%), or the patient didn’t want to visit the doctor (0.04%). Most tumors (95%) originated from the sigmoid and rectum. 38.9% and 44.2% of the patients diagnosed at Stage 4 and 3 respectively. Conclusions: This study revealed that CRC patients in Pakistan are facing delays in presentation and diagnosis. This is the reason behind diagnosis at the advanced stage with a poor prognosis. Based on this study findings CRC control program should be introduced to detect CRC at an early stage. Keywords: Colorectal cancer, Colon, Rectum, Cancer, Presentation delay, Diagnosis delay.

Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever (DHF) prevention and control program has been conducted in Kupang City but DHF Incidence Rate (IR) is always high and exceeds the national average. Calculating the density of larvae and pupae is a good choice in calculating DHF mosquitos’ density because larvae capture is easier than mosquitoes, and pupa is the nearest stage with adult mosquitoes so can better represent actual mosquito density. This observational study used cross sectional study design was conducted in Kupang City as many 24 urban villages or 480 houses during the rainy and dry season and all containers inside and outside homes selected been observed. Larvae and pupae were collected using gamadotik then identified. Analyzed data were using multiple regression logistic test, independent t test and Anova test. This study found 781 containers with the equation model of container positivity = 2,975 lid - 0.192 material + 0.781 type - 3,706, with the most influential variable is the container lid (OR 19.5). <em>Ae. Aegypti</em>, <em>Ae. Albopictus</em> and <em>Culex</em> can be found in water containers both inside and outside homes. The presence of larvae can be prevented either by doing closed and drain the container regularly and bury or drying container that is not used anymore. As limitation of water supply so other solutions need to be taken such as by sprinkling temefos into container with closed tightly to reduce the container positivity 19.5 times. For greater container can be done by water draining or reuse used container outside the home into a place to plant flowers or plants or become temporary garbage.

Willingness To Purchase

Background: Some Ebola vaccines have been developed and tested in phase III clinical trials. However, assessment of whether public have willingness to purchase or not, especially in unaffected areas, is lacking. The aim of this study was to determine willingness to pay (WTP) for a hypothetical Ebola vaccine in Indonesia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from 1 August to 30 December 2015 in five cities in Aceh province of Indonesia. Patients’ family members who visited outpatient departments were approached and interviewed about their sociodemographic characteristics, knowledge of Ebola, attitude towards vaccination practice and their WTP for a hypothetical Ebola vaccine. A multivariable linear regression model assessed the relationship between these explanatory variables and WTP. Results: During the study, 500 participants were approached and interviewed. There were 424 (84.8%) respondents who completed the interview and 74% (311/424) expressed their acceptance for an Ebola vaccine. There were 288 participants who were willing to pay for an Ebola vaccine (92.6% out of 311). The mean of WTP was US$2.08 (95% CI: 1.75-2.42). The final multivariable model indicated that young age, high educational attainment, working as a private employee, entrepreneur or civil servant (compared to farmers), being unmarried, and residing in a suburb (compared to a city) were associated with higher WTP. Conclusions: Although the proportion of the participants who would accept the Ebola vaccine was relatively high, the amount they were willing to pay for Ebola vaccine was very low. This finding would indicate the need of subsidies for Ebola vaccine in the country.

Endemic Malaria

Diperkirakan sekitar 2,5 milyar manusia hidup di wilayah endemis malaria dengan ± 300 juta kasus dan ± 1 juta kematian yang sebagian besar adalah anak-anak. Di Indonesia, malaria tak pernah tereradikasi dan mengalami pasang surut dari tahun ke tahun. Di Jawa-Bali, API pada tahun 2001 (0,62%) dan 2004 (0,15‰) dan di luar Jawa-Bali, AMI pada tahun 2001 (26,20‰) dan 2004 (21,20‰) terlihat menurun. Kabupaten Nias Selatan merupakan daerah endemis malaria dengan angka Monthly Malaria Incidence (MoMI) pada 2005 (124,24 ‰). Gempa bumi tektonik dan tsunami dan gempa bumi susulan yang terjadi berpengaruh meningkatkan angka insiden. Lingkungan menjadi lebih kondusif bagi perkembangan vektor penyakit malaria. Hidup di pengungsian dan penurunan daya beli penduduk menurunkan daya tahan tubuh. Kerusakan sarana dan prasarana kesehatan juga sangat berpengaruh pada pregram pencegahan dan pengendalian penyakit. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan data tentang prevalensi penderita malaria vivax di Kabupaten Nias Selatan. Penelitian dengan desain epidemiologi diskriptif kasus seri ini menegakkan diagnostik malari secara klinis dan laboratorium. di Kabupaten Nias Selatan lebih sedikit daripada malaria spesies plasmodium yang lain. Kasus terbanyak dijumpai pada jenis kelamin perempuan (3,6%) dan kelompok umur 35-44 tahun (1,9%).Kata kunci : Malaria vivax, PrevalensiAbstractThe South Nias District is an endemic malaria area with Monthly Malaria Incidence (MoMI), in 2005 of 124.24 ‰. The increase of the M0MI rate is influenced by tectonic earthquake and tsunami. The enviroment become more condusive for vector development. Living condition in barrack and the decreasing buying ability affected body immunity. The destruction of health facilities affected prevention and disease control program. The study was conducted to obtain data on prevalence of malaria vivax in South Nias District. Data was collected through structured interviewed in a cross sectional study design. The diagnosis of malaria was made by microscopic blood examination. The prevalence of malaria vivax in South Nias district was 5.1%. Most cases were found among women (3.6%) and 35-44 years of age group (1.9%). It was concluded that in South Nias district, patient of malaria vivax was fewer than other types of malaria.Keywords : Malaria vivax, prevalence

Background: Vector borne diseases are more prevalent in third world countries and are on an upward trend. The objectives were to study the demographic profile of the study population and assess their knowledge, attitude and practices regarding vector borne diseases. Methods: This is a cross sectional study done on 259 study subjects, conducted in July 2017 in the field practice area of the urban health centre of Malla Reddy Institute of Medical Sciences. A convenient sample of 250 was decided to be covered over a period of one month. A total of 259 subjects could be interviewed. Results: Majority were educated up to high school (48.25). Majority of female subjects were homemakers (77.2%) and majority of the males were skilled workers (33.7%). A total of 207 study subjects were found to have mosquito breeding places in their surroundings. Majority (28.5%) had open garbage bins with stagnant water as the chief source of mosquitos. Majority (89.2%) could name at least one disease spread by mosquitos and they mostly got their information from TV and newspaper (77.9%). Most common preventive measures followed by was mosquito mesh and screens (53.5%). Conclusions: Knowledge levels of the populations must be increased through various information, education and communication (IEC) campaigns.
