Larval Identification and Density of Aedes spp. in Riau Province as a Dengue Vector in 2024
Abstract
Based on data from the Riau Provincial Health Office, the number of dengue fever cases in 2018-2019 increased drastically from 12 to 59.9 per 100,000 population, exceeding the target of less than 49 per 100,000 population. Larval density measurement through entomological surveys is crucial for assessing the risk of Dengue Fever transmission in an area. This descriptive observational study, with a survey design, aimed to identify and calculate the density of Aedes larvae in Pasir Kemilu Village (Indragiri Hulu Regency), Perawang Barat Village (Siak Regency), and Siak Hulu District (Kampar Regency). A total of 210 houses were sampled using the proportional stratified sampling method. The findings indicate a high risk of DHF transmission, with a House Index of 34%, a Container Index of 9%, a Breteau Index of 36%, and a Larvae-Free Rate of 66%. The container most commonly found with Aedes spp. larvae was the bucket (39%), followed by containers for leftover dispenser water (20%) and used cans (19%). This study concludes that the risk of dengue fever transmission in the surveyed areas of Riau is high, primarily due to the high density of Aedes larvae found in common household containers.
