Mosquitoes are considered as one of the most dangerous creatures on the planet as they cause various diseases like dengue , malaria, chikungunya and so on. We can protect ourselves from mosquito bites by using mosquito repellent agents like spray, lotions and mosquito nets. The use of mosquito nets does not cause any harmful effects on the human body. The objective of this project is to improve the repellency of mosquito nets by applying the extracts of the citrus peels namely CITRUS SINENSIS (sweet orange) and CITRUS AURANTIFOLIA (lime) by padding method on the cotton mosquito nets. The samples have been tested by standard methods of testing such as Cage Test (WHO-1996), Modified Excito Chamber Test, Anti-bacterial Test (AATCC-147) and Durability Test (AATCC-135).The treated mosquito nets ensures good repellency against the mosquitoes along with Anti-bacterial property.

Malaria is known as an endemic disease that often causes death in Indonesia, especially in Papua. The malaria cases control in Papua has not been carried on based on data studies, therefore bionomic of Anopheles sp is important to be studied. Bionomics data are consisted of breeding places, resting places and feeding habits are from direct observation. Interviews and questionnaires were conducted to gain information about respondent behavior. Descriptive and qualitative data were then analyzed. The breeding places of Anopheles sp. were mostly found in swampy areas. Based on the feeding habit, the feeding activity of Anopheles sp. inside the house has only one biting peak at 23.00-02.00 WIT, while outside the house, biting peaks occurred at 21.00-22.00 WIT and 00.00-01.00 WIT. Resting place data shown that Anopheles sp. mostly found in piles of clothes and shoe racks. Recorded factors that affect mosquitos bionomics are temperature, humidity, salinity, pH, community behavior, and the presence of livestock. Environmental factors (temperature, humidity, salinity, and pH), habitual behavior of host (3M action, the habit of using insect repellent, mosquito repellent, and mosquito nets), the presence of livestock, and the type of bait blood type affect mosquito activity.
