Relationship of Water Temperature and Air Humidity with Aedes Sp. Manggarai Tebet Village South Jakarta in 2022

Abstract

Environmental-based diseases are still a health problem for the people of Indonesia. One of the diseases caused by environmental sanitation conditions that do not meet health requirements is dengue hemorrhagic fever. Several environmental factors such as temperature, air, and the intensity of lighting that enter the house are thought to strengthen the occurrence of dengue fever. The presence of mosquito larvae is an indicator that will greatly affect the presence of mosquito populations in a place. This study aims to determine the relationship between water temperature and air humidity with the presence of Aedes sp . in RW. 03 Kelurahan Manggarai, Kecamatan Tebet, South Jakarta in 2022. This research is a descriptive analytic study with a cross sectional study design . The research location in RW 03 is located in Manggarai Village. The total population in this study amounted to 298 houses, while the sample in this study amounted to 75 houses. The sampling technique that the writer uses is cluster random sampling . The results of the study were statistically tested with the chi-square test at a 95% confidence level. The result is that there are 8 houses that found larvae (10.70%) and larvae were found in 19 containers (10.74%). The type of landfill that found the most larvae was buckets totaling 16 (9.04%). With the larva-free rate (ABJ) in RW 03 Manggarai Village, Tebet District, South Jakarta of 89.33%, House Index (HI) of 10.67%, Container Index (CI) of 9.73%, and Breteau Index (BI) by 24. Most of the houses found Aedes sp . In containers with non-optimal temperature (>27 o C) as many as 64 houses (85.30%) and optimal humidity (70-80%) for the growth of Aedes sp . A total of 67 houses (10.70%). Statistical analysis showed that there was a relationship between water temperature and the presence of Aedes sp. ( p-value = 0.000) and there is no relationship between air humidity and the presence of Aedes sp larvae . ( p-value = 0.301). To reduce the presence of Aedes sp . It is suggested that every family member must work together to prevent Aedes sp. where people can live a clean and healthy life, by regulating the air circulation in the house and eliminating the Aedes aegypti mosquito breading place .
