Awareness of all potential vectors of the viruses of bluetongue and African horse sickness is crucial for the implementation of integrated control measures, risk analysis and disease manage­ment. The primary monitoring tools used for the collection of Culicoides midges are various models of suction light traps. In order to facilitate comparison of data between laboratories, the efficiency of the Onderstepoort, Rieb, mini-CDC, Pirbright and BG-sentinel, used at present and during the past in Europe, was compared in the field in South Africa. In a separate series of comparisons, the influence of trap height, the presence of hosts and the addition of octenol to the trap on species composition and number of Culicoides midges collected were determined. Comparisons were done in an appropriate number of replicates of a randomized Latin square design. The Onderstepoort trap collected significantly more Culicoides midges in summer and in winter than the other traps. It was found that relatively small vari­ations in the height at which the trap is deployed can have a sig­nificant influence on the number of midges collected. Although these results seem to indicate a height preference for C. imicola it needs to be determined to what extent environmental fac­tors, the presence of nearby structures, other light sources and hosts near the trap might have on the height at which Culicoides midges will fly. Significant differences were found in the num­ber of Culicoides and especially C. imicola numbers collected at various distances from host animals. Statistically significant higher numbers and proportions of C. imicola were collected immediately next to the animals compare to collections made 5 to 30 m away from animals. The addition of 1-octen-3-ol (9.1 mg/h) and 4-methylphenol (15.5 mg/h) did not have any significant influence on the number of Culicoides collected with the Onderstepoort trap. Relatively small but statistically signifi­cant differences were found in the species composition, parous rates, sex ratios as well as the ratio of Culicoides midges to other insects, as determined by the different collection regimes. Despite a great variety of factors that can influence light trap results, it remains the most reliable and practical way to deter­mine species richness and abundance in an area. The results of this study highlighted a few factors that may influence the num­bers of Culicoides midges collected and the problems involved in the reliable comparison of light trap data between different collection sites. It emphasized the need for the standardization of techniques for measuring the variables of vectorial capacity

El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo conocer la composición de la entomofauna de interés forense, determinar la riqueza y abundancia relativa según las etapas de descomposición y describir la sucesión de la entomofauna de interés forense acorde a las etapas de descomposición de Sus scrofa domesticus expuestos al sol y sombra. El trabajo se realizó de febrero a marzo del 2017. Se identificaron 5 etapas de descomposición: fresco, hinchado, colicuativo, avanzado y esqueletización. Registrándose un total de 5064 insectos, distribuidos en 2 Órdenes (Diptera y Coleoptera), 14 Familias, 18 especies y 5 morfotipos. Diptera fue el más abundante en ambas condiciones con 95,52 % (sombra) y 88,49% (sol). Se identificaron las siguientes especies: Chrysomya albiceps, Chrysomya megacephala, Lucilia sericata, Cochliomyia macellaria, Hemilucilia sp. (Diptera: Calliphoridae), Fannia canicularis, Fannia scalaris (Diptera: Fanniidae), Musca domestica, Morfotipo I (Diptera: Muscidae), Megaselia scalaris, Morfotipo I (Diptera: Phoridae), Sarcophaga sp., Morfotipo I (Diptera: Sarcophagidae), Dermestes maculatus (Coleoptera: Dermestidae), Euspilotus sp., e Hister sp., (Coleoptera: Histeridae), Canthon subhyalinus, Eurysternus sp., Oxelytrum cayennensis (Coleoptera: Silphidae), Polynonchus sp. (Coleoptera: Trogidae). La entomofauna de interés forense registradas en este estudio pueden ser empleadas para la estimación del intervalo post mortem.

Keragaman serangga dinilai dapat memberikan kontribusi terhadap kehidupan manusia, termasuk peranan serangga dalam suatu agroekosistem. Serangga memiliki berbagai peranan dalam agroekosistem meliputi serangga hama, polinator, predator, parasitoid, dan dekomposer. Monitoring serangga merupakan langkah awal yang dapat dilaksanakan guna mengetahui keragaman dan keberadaan serangga dalam suatu agroekosistem. Informasi mengenai keragaman serangga serta peranannya terhadap agroekosistem di kota Tasikmalaya masih sangat terbatas sehingga dirasa perlu untuk melaksanakan monitoring keragaman serangga. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah dengan pemasangan light trap pada 6 kecamatan berbeda di kota Tasikmalaya yaitu kecamatan Cihideung, Mangkubumi, Tawang, Tamansari, Kawalu, dan Cibeureum selama tiga hari. Serangga yang terperangkap kemudian diidentifikasi dan ditentukan peranannya terhadap agroekosistem. Berdasarkan hasil pemasangan perangkap dan identifikasi, didapatkan 15 spesies serangga berbeda. Sembilan spesies berperan sebagai hama: Drosophila spp., Oryctes rhinoceros, Lepidioma stigma, Leptocorisa acuta, Acanthocephala spp., Scirpophaga innotata, Helicoperva armigera, Spodoptera frugiperda, dan Spodoptera litura. Tiga spesies sebagai polinator: Anopheles spp., Musca domestica, dan Camponotus pennsylvanicus. Dua spesies sebagai predator: Paederus fuscipes dan Ortethrum sabina. Satu spesies sebagai dekomposer: Coptotermes curvignathus.

Gajah sumatera, Elephas maximus sumatranus dalam status kritis. Kendala yang dihadapi dalam upaya konservasi gajah sumatera binaan, salah satunya adalah infeksi ektoparasit. Kajian tentang jenis-jenis dan keanekaragaman ektoparasit yang menginfeksi gajah sumatera di Pusat Latihan Gajah Taman Nasional Way Kambas telah dilakukan pada bulan Maret-Mei 2017 di Pusat Latihan Gajah, Taman Nasional Way Kambas. Penentuan sampel gajah dilakukan secara Purposive sampling yaitu memilih gajah binaan yang kesehatannya kurang baik atau terindikasi terinfeksi ektoparasit. Tiga metode pengambilan sampel dilakukan meliputi metode rabaan, light trap, dan sweep net. Empat famili dan lima jenis ektoparasit yang teridentifikasi yaitu dari Famili Tabanidae dengan spesies Tabanus sp. 1, Tabanus sp. 2, Chrysops sp., Family Muscidae: Musca domestica, Famili Calliphoridae: Chrysomya sp. dan Haematomyzus elephantis dari Family Haematomyzidae.

One of the diseases that can be transmitted by flies is diarrhea. Green betel leaf contains essential oils, chavicol, arecoline, phenol, and tannins which function as plant-based insecticides. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of green betel leaf extract (Piper betel) as a plant-based insecticide on the number of mortality of house flies (Musca domestica). The research was an experimental study used After Only Design used the One Way Anova test with a 95% confidence level. The samples used were 360 ​​house flies. Each treatment of 30 house flies with 4 repetitions and used three concentrations of green betel leaf extract (25%, 50%, 75%). The study was conducted at the Chemistry and Microbiology Laboratory of Health Polytechnic Tanjungpinang, while the location of the fly collection was at the Tokojo Garbage Collection Station in Bintan Regency. The number of mortality of house flies at a concentration of 25% was 81 heads (67.5%), 50% concentrations were 93 heads (77.5%), and at a concentration of 75% were 103 heads (85.83%). There was an effect of green betel leaf extract on the mortality of house flies (p-value 0.0001 <0.05) with the most effective concentration of 75%. Further research is needed to obtain a finished product utilizing green betel leaf extract as a vegetable insecticide, especially in controlling the fly vector. Need further research on the use of green betel leaf extract as a vegetable insecticide controlling the fly vector by taking into account the amount of spraying and the age of the fly.   Keywords: Green betel leaf extract , organic insecticide, houseflies
