Latar Belakang: Demam Berdarah Dengue (DBD) masih menjadi penyakit tropis yang endemis di Indonesia sepanjang tahun. Beberapa agen biologis yang terbukti mampu mengendalikan populasi larva vektor DBD adalah kelompok mikroorganisme dan predator alami seperti ikan pemakan larva. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pola makan ikan setan hitam (Apteronotus albifrons) dalam memakan larva nyamuk Aedes aegypti. Metode: Jenis penelitian ini adalah penelitian eksperimental laboratorium dengan desain one-shot case study. Pengujian dilakukan dengan cara 25 ekor larva nyamuk Ae. aegypti instar III dimasukkan ke dalam akuarium kaca berisi 1 ekor ikan A. albifrons yang dipuasakan satu hari sebelum perlakuan. Replikasi dilakukan sebanyak 4 kali. Pengamatan dilakukan setiap 20 menit sampai semua 25 larva habis dimakan oleh ikan A. albifrons. Data waktu ikan mulai memakan dan waktu larva habis dimakan dicatat dalam penelitian ini. Hasil: Rata-rata waktu ikan setan hitam (A. albifrons) memulai memakan larva adalah 10,5 menit. Ikan A. albifrons dapat memakan habis 25 ekor larva nyamuk Ae. aegypti dengan rata-rata waktu 3 jam 30 menit. Kesimpulan: Ikan setan hitam (A. albifrons) memiliki potensi sebagai agen biologis alami vektor DBD.

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.

Dengue and Aedes aegypti infestation in Latin America pose substantial health risks. Total reliance on chemical interventions is no longer feasible and, increasingly, programs of control will need to rely on education, behavior change and community participation. Findings from applied behavioral research in the Dominican Republic conducted from July through September of 1987 are discussed in the light of cultural constraints on intervention efforts. Perception of risk, the choices for curative care as opposed to prevention, and explanatory models of environmental risks are considered. The article concludes with a discussion of the benefits of health education messages that possess simplicity and economy of effort. Additionally, the potential importance of biological controls are suggested in light of cultural constraints.

ABSTRACT Objectives: Reporting the experience of health education regarding Aedes aegypti in the Federal District. Methods: This is a case report, with descriptive approach, about the experience of nursing practice with education actions against the Aedes aegypti in communities of the Federal District, carried out between 2015 and 2018. Subjects of the research were undergraduate students in nursing, healthcare professionals, and the community. Results: There have been 24 educational interventions against Aedes aegypti, adapted to the needs of each population, using a “giant” sculpture of the mosquito, theater performances, lectures, booklets, and home visits. Conclusions: The project trained teachers, healthcare professionals, graduate students in nursing, and the community through the empowerment of this population, aiming at combating the Aedes aegypti vector.
