Mosquito Vector Control

Mosquitoes and other arthropods can transmit pathogens that currently cause millions of cases of illness and over 700,000 deaths annually. For most of these, the most efficient prevention is mosquito (or vector) control. However, only a small number of mosquito species are responsible for pathogen transmission, and different species are important for different pathogens. Because mosquito (vector) control tends to be focused on specific species, it is critical to ensure that the control efforts are directed at the species that are actually involved in pathogen transmission in the real world. Therefore, it is important to understand what makes a vector a vector and the various factors that affect the ability of a potential “vector” to actually transmit a pathogen.

Mosquito Vector Control

Mosquito borne diseases have continued to ravage man and his animals despite efforts to curb its spread. The use of chemicals has been the main thrust for control of all life stages of mosquitoes. Increased resistance to commonly used insecticides has called for renewed effort for vector control. Environmental management for vector control is one of the new strategies developed to tackle the menace of vectors. Manipulation of abiotic factors has widely gained acceptance due to laboratory and semi-field trials and findings. In this chapter, we reviewed literatures on some critical abiotic factors and their effects on bionomics and biological fitness of immature and adult life stages of mosquito species. We also looked at prospects for developing protocols based on these findings.

Mosquito Vector Control

Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is a disease that is found in some tropical and subtropical regions. This disease is caused by dengue virus and is transmitted to humans through the bite of the Aedes aegypti mosquito. the solution taken in controlling DHF is to break the life cycle of the Aedes aegypti mosquito. Vector control is generally carried out using synthetic larvicides, namely abate / temefos, but the use of abate can cause residues, environmental pollution, poisoning and resistance of the eradicated vectors so that natural larvasides from plants are needed namely temulawak rhizome (Curcuma xanthorrhiza Roxb.) for vector control. The purpose of this study was to determine whether temulawak rhizome extract was effective or not in killing Aedes aegypti larvae. This research method includes larva collection, identification and maintenance of mosquitoes, determining sample size, making extracts and testing effectiveness. This study used a control and experiment group with 3 repetitions in the minutes to 15, 30, 45, 60 and 1440 (24 Hours). The control group was positive control using abate and negative control using aquades while the eksperiment group used extract of temulawak rhizome (Curcuma xanthorrhiza Roxb.) with concentrations of 0.6%, 0.8%, 1%, 1.2% and 1.5%. The results of this study indicate that the temulawak rhizome extract (Curcuma xanthorrhiza Roxb.) effective as larvicides because at the lowest concentration 0.6% can kill 100% Aedes aegypti larvae.

And Behavior

Bangsring village in Wongsorejo regency has been reported as malaria endemic area in Banyuwangi since 2011. Understanding the diversity and behavior of mosquito vector in this area will be very impotant in developing vector control program. The masquitoes were collected by landing collection outside and inside house by human bites, we also observed the area around cattle cage. During observation periods, a total 633 masquitos were collected consist of 44% malaria potential vector (Anopheles spp.) 19% Dengue fever (DF) potential vector (Aedes spp.) and 36% were not belong to both of them. Out of total collected Anopheles spp. mosquitoes about 65% were indentified as An. vagus, 25% were An. indevinitus, 8% were An. vagus (limosus), and only 2% as well as 0,04 % were An. supictus and An. kochi. Meanwhile we found 19% of Aedes sp. were Ae. aegypti and 81% were Ae. albopictus. This study showed that the dominan potential malaria’s vector is An. Vagus and the dominan DF vector is Ae. albopictus. Mostly colleted Anopheles sp. were exophagic and zoophilic with the highest activities between 06.00-08.00 pm. This was in contras to Aedes sp. where mosfly found endophilic and it has 2 hightime of activities Aedes sp. between 06.00- 07.00 AM and 05.00-06.00 PM. Keywords: Dengue, Malaria, diversity, Anopheles, Aedes.
