AbstractSumedang regency reported being one of dengue endemic areas in West Java. The number of dengue fever patients in Sumedang District General Hospital increased in the last quarter of 2015. Universitas Padjadjaran (Unpad) is one of most significant areas in Jatinangor Sumedang where many people are doing their activity day and night. The purpose of the study was to identify what types of mosquito genera exist in Unpad campus according to the time and location. A field survey was conducted at 22 locations in Unpad campus using modified electric light trap placed indoor and outdoor at each site from September to November 2016. The modified electrical trap was turned on for 24 hours, and samples collected every 12 hours. Mosquitoes trapped were put into the plastic cup, labeled according to time collected, and brought to Parasitology Laboratory of Unpad for identification. The study result identified four types of mosquito genera which were Culex spp. (405), Armigeres spp. (70), Aedes spp. (33), and Anopheles spp. (10). Prevention toward potential breeding sites and protection using window net should be considered to reduce the risk of vector-borne diseases. In conclusion, Aedes spp. is the most active mosquito during the day while Culex spp. and Armigeres spp. are the most active mosquito during the night.AbstrakKabupaten Sumedang dilaporkan sebagai salah satu daerah endemik demam berdarah di Jawa Barat. Jumlah pasien demam berdarah yang datang ke Rumah Sakit Umum Daerah Sumedang meningkat dalam tiga bulan terakhir pada tahun 2015. Universitas Padjadjaran (Unpad) merupakan salah satu wilayah yang terluas di Jatinangor Sumedang sebagai tempat banyak orang melakukan aktivitas pada siang dan malam hari. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengidentifikasi jenis genera nyamuk yang ada di kampus Unpad Jatinangor berdasar atas waktu dan lokasi. Survei lapangan dilakukan pada 22 lokasi di kampus Unpad Jatinangor pada bulan September–November 2016 menggunakan perangkap nyamuk cahaya yang dimodifikasi. Perangkap nyamuk ditempatkan di dalam dan luar ruangan untuk setiap lokasi. Perangkap nyamuk dipasang selama 24 jam, kemudian nyamuk dikumpulkan setiap 12 jam. Nyamuk yang terperangkap dikumpulkan dan dimasukkan ke dalam cangkir plastik, diberi label sesuai dengan waktu pengambilan, kemudian dibawa ke Laboratorium Parasitologi Unpad untuk diidentifikasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan 4 genera nyamuk ditemukan di kampus Unpad Jatinangor, yaitu Culex spp. (405), Armigeres spp. (70), Aedes spp. (33), dan Anopheles spp. (10). Pencegahan pada tempat yang berpotensi menjadi sarang nyamuk dan perlindungan menggunakan kawat nyamuk pada jendela harus dipertimbangkan untuk menurunkan risiko penyakit tular vektor. Simpulan penelitian ini, Aedes spp. merupakan nyamuk yang paling aktif pada siang hari serta Culex spp. dan Armigeres spp. yang paling aktif pada malam hari.

<p class="0abstract">Dengue remains a significant problem that needs to be addressed urgently in Thailand. Although Thailand has spread the dengue fever for more than sixty years, however, it is still found dengue patients in every province and spread to various areas. There is also a variable pattern of disease occurring each year, so it is necessary to have tools to help forecast area to allow the related organization and the people in the area plan to prevent dengue fever that may occur next year. This research aimed to create innovation for predicting dengue fever regions, namely ThaiDengue, by collecting data from dengue patients in Chatuchak District, Bangkok, Thailand, from January 2014 to December 2018. There was a total of 358,524 dengue patients from the Bureau of vector-borne diseases applied to the prediction of patients in the next year with the ARIMA model (1,1,0) (1,1,0). It is predicted that in 2019, Thailand will have dengue patients around 95,000 cases, which has the number of dengue patients close to the year 2018. In the next step, application development and database on fog computing. Fog computing is an evolving technology that brings the benefits achieved by could computing to the periphery of the network devices for faster data analytics. It is better suited than cloud computing for meeting the demands of numerous emerging applications such as self-driving cars, traffic lights, smart homes. While the ThaiDengue consists of the main menu: how to use, forecast, surveillance calendar, notification, disease map, notify patients, contact the Bureau of vector-borne, knowledge information, and scan the QR code. After that, the result of the development, the researcher has the Bureau of vector-borne disease of Thailand used to forecasts, create a GPS map of dengue outbreaks, and create a calendar for dengue monitoring.  After that, send a message to alert the people in the area of dengue via a smartphone and send additional emails. The results from using the application found this application can be used as a tool to help the Bureau of vector-borne diseases, to plan dengue fever control and alert the people in the risk areas of dengue outbreak and users are very satisfied with the use of the application.</p>

Abstract Dengue, Zika and Chikungunya arboviruses (DZC), mainly transmitted by mosquito Aedes aegypti, are global health public issues affecting 390 million people each year. In most endemic countries, vector control strategies have been focused on reducing breeding sites and adult mosquito populations. Most health communication strategies have pointed out adult mosquito as the main responsible of the transmission, persuading people to eliminate domestic containers. However, it is not clear how should people understand the relationship between adult mosquitoes and water domestic containers. So, the main goal of the present study was to assess the people understanding of this relationship. Results showed that most people associate adult mosquitoes with DZC, but only few could associate swimming larvae with mosquitoes. The unawareness of larva presence leads to an underestimation of risk perception about DZC transmission. In this context, we consider that educative interventions for health promotion, based on meaningful knowledge and social representations arise as long-term strategies to control transmission of vector-borne diseases. Here, we propose innovative health strategies focused on increase the risk perception about swimming larvae, considering social representations, which may be a key stepping stone to increase people adherence to massive campaigns and reducing DZC burden.

Abstract Mosquito larvae play an essential role in the ecological, and many of them can spread human and animal diseases, including in Macaca fascicularis. Information on mosquito species and their habitats can provide an overview of the role of mosquitoes in the spread of vector-borne diseases in M. fascicularis captivity area. This study aimed to identify species diversity of mosquito larvae, species affinity and association, and the larval breeding sites around M. fascicularis captivity area in Bogor, West Java. Mosquito larvae were collected from 102 sites using a 350 ml dipper. Mosquito larvae that were successfully collected consisted of 11 species; Aedes albopictus, Ae. aegypti, Armigeres subalbatus, Anopheles aconitus, An. kochi, An. vagus, Culex fuscocephala, Cx. pseudovishnui, Cx. tritaeniorhyncus, Cx. quinquefasciatus, and Cx. vishnui. Co-occurrence in mosquito larvae as many as 13 compositions, with the highest co-occurrence in Ae. albopictus and Cx. quinquefasciatus that was 11 times. There were seven types breeding sites for the larval mosquitoes, i.e containers, ditches, creeks, ponds, artificial ponds, groundwater puddles, and rice fields. We conclude the existence of mosquito larvae and the availability of their breeding site in M. fascicularis captivity area can be a potential transmission of pathogens between mosquitoes and hosts

AbstractClimate changes are affecting the control of many vector-borne diseases, particularly in Africa. In this work, a dengue fever model with protected travellers is formulated. Caputo-Fabrizio operator is utilized to obtain some qualitative information about the disease. The basic properties and the reproduction number is studied. The two steady states are determined and the local stability of the states are found to be asymptotically stable. The fixed pointed theory is made use to obtain the existence and uniqueness of solutions of the model. The numerical simulation suggests that the fractional-order affects the dynamics of dengue fever.

Arthropod-borne infections carried by mosquitoes and ticks are difficult to eradicate, once rooted, and have frequently caused wide-area epidemics such as dengue fever, West Nile fever, chikungunya fever, yellow fever, Japanese encephalitis and Rift Valley fever. Factors such as global warming and overpopulation have aggravated urban epidemics caused by dengue and chikungunya viruses. Measures against arthropods have their limitations, however, so nonepidemic areas must be protected against invasion by vector-borne diseases through quarantine, education and effective vaccination.

Dengue fever and scrub typhus are common causes of acute febrile illness of unclear origin in Asia. Though coinfections of many vector-borne diseases have been described, articles on dengue and scrub typhus coinfection are distinctly limited. In case of coinfection with dengue and scrub typhus, vigilant monitoring of vitals, platelets transfusion, and timely treatment with doxycycline are necessary. High degree of suspicion has to be made for coinfection in a patient presenting with febrile illness with thrombocytopenia and deranged laboratory parameters in postmonsoon season in endemic regions in Asia.

Abstract The environment is an important factor in transmitting vector-borne diseases where an environment is a place of interaction between hosts, agents, and vectors. The existence of mosquitoes as a vector of various types of diseases is influenced by the existence of mosquito breeding habitats in an area. The results of mapping can be a guide to finding larva habitat when carrying out vector control. In addition, there is no map of larva habitat in Cibalong Subdistrict, Garut Regency so that mapping of breeding sites and behavior of mosquitoes becomes very important. The purpose of this study was to map the mosquito larval habitats in Cibalong District, Garut regency. Data collection was done by plotting habitats using Global Positioning System (GPS) and larva identifications using a compound microscope. Habitat larvae found in Karangparanje, Karyasari Village and Sakambangan, Mekarwangi Village, dominated by rice fields and water streams. While larvae found were Culex sp, Anopheles sp, Aedes sp, and Malaya sp. This finding confirmed that  Cibalong District receptive as a transmitting area of ​​Malaria, DHF, and Filaria, so it is necessary to be aware of the possibility of transmission of vector-borne diseases in those areas. Abstrak Lingkungan merupakan faktor penting dalam penularan penyakit tular vektor di mana lingkungan merupakan tempat berinteraksi antara host , agen dan vektor. Keberadaan nyamuk sebagai vektor berbagai macam penyakit dipengaruhi oleh keberadaan habitat perkembangbiakan nyamuk di suatu wilayah. Hasil suatu pemetaan dapat menjadi panduan untuk menemukan habitat jentik pada saat melakukan pengendalian vektor. Selain itu belum adanya suatu peta habitat jentik di Kecamatan Cibalong Kabupaten Garut sehingga pemetaan tempat perkembangbiakan dan perilaku nyamuk menjadi sangat penting. Tujuan kajian ini untuk memetakan habitat jentik nyamuk di Kecamatan Cibalong  Kabupaten Garut. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan membuat titik (plotting)  habitat dengan menggunakan Global Positioning System (GPS) dan identifikasi jentik menggunakan mikroskop binokuler. Habitat jentik yang ditemukan di  Dusun Karangparanje Desa Karyasari dan Dusun Sakambangan Desa Mekarwangi, didominasi oleh sawah dan aliran sungai. Sedangkan jentik yang ditemukan yaitu Culex sp, Anopheles sp, Aedes sp dan Malaya sp. Hal ini menjadikan Kecamatan Cibalong reseptif sebagai daerah penular malaria, DBD, dan filaria, sehingga perlu diwaspadai kemungkinan terjadinya penularan penyakit tular vektor di wilayah tersebut.

Abstract. Hamaidia K, Soltani N. 2021. Short communication: New report of Aedes albopictus in Souk Ahras, Northeast Algeria. Biodiversitas 22: 2901-2906. The present paper reports the occurrence of Aedes albopictus (Skuse), an aggressive Asian tiger mosquito in the city of Souk-Ahras (Northeast of Algeria). A “26 April” estate’ inhabitants (Souk-Ahras province) have reported unusual daytime bites by a striped mosquito. On early September 2020, an intensive field inspection was carried out for potential mosquito breeding sites in the locations around the city. A total of 105 specimens (8 larvae, 24 pupae and 73 adults) of Ae. albopictus were collected in a pile of old tyres in a residential garden. After previous records of this species in Algeria, this is the first evidence of its presence in Souk-Ahras province, and the findings enhance combined public participation with professional validation in surveillance of vector borne-diseases programs with emphasis on the need for sensitising citizens about controlling this important vector.
