THE RESISTANCE STATUS OF Aedes Sp LARVAE TO TEMEPHOS IN THE PERIMETER AND BUFFER AREAS OF SURABAYA TANJUNG PERAK SEAPORT

Abstract

The seport was the gateway transmission of the disease. IHR 2005 stated that the perimeter
and port buffer areas have to be free from larvae to maintain these conditions KKP Class 1
Surabaya conducts continuous control by employ the larvacidae with the activated
ingredient temephos, that has been used for more than ten years and can trigger resistance.
The purpose of this study to determined the resistance status from Aedes sp larvae to
temephos in the Perimeter and Buffer area of the Surabaya Tanjung Perak Seaport. Type of
research used experimentation purified design with Postest Only with Control Group
Design. The research sample were the third generation (F3) Aedes Sp instar III larvae used
temephos with a variation concentrated 0.01 mg/L; 0,02 mg/L; 0,03 mg/L; and 0,04 mg/L
with 24-hour contact time. Data analysis in determined the resistance status with reference
to the standard categories of WHO. The test results which was conducted a total of five
times indicated test results of the status vector based on standards WHO that the status
larvae against temephos with variations concentrated 0.01 mg/L; 0.02 mg/L; 0.03 mg/L;
and 0.04 mg/L was resistant. The concluded resistance status of Aedes Sp larvae to
temephos in the Perimeter and the Buffer area have indicated resistant. Suggestion for the
KKP Class 1 Surabaya to conduct further research on status resistance larvae Aedes Sp to
temephos.
