LARVASIDE EFFECT OF TURMERIC RHIZOME EXCTRACT (CURCUMA DOMESTICA VAL.) ON DENGUE FEVER AND DENGUE HEMORRHAGIC FEVER VECTOR AEDES AEGYPTI IN BANJARBARU

ABSTRACT

Dengue Fever (DF) and Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) are part of the health problem in lndonesia. case Fatality Rate (cFR) in Banjarbaru city were 1.9% (2006), i.8% (2007), 0.00% (2008) and 5.11% (2009) with Aedes aegyptiasthe vector. This study aimed to determine the effectivity of turmeric extract as Aedes aegypti larvasida in the communal housing to overcome the problems of DF and DHF cases and apply it in several subdistricts  in Banjarbaru. This is an experimental purposive  study with sampling method. The reserch subjects were community residing in 5 health centers areas in 5 subdistricts with the total of the sampels are 50 houses chosen based on the number of dengue cases occurred. Data analysis using regression test to determine the relationship between of exposure time (dead time) with the number of larvae mortality. The results showed that turmeric extract is effective to kill the larvae of Aedes aegypti. Maximum killing ability of turmeric extracts haven in the first 3 hourswith mean mortalityof 3-4 larvae and declined in the next hour with mean mortality 1-2 deaths larvae. Time required to kill the entire larvae population tested was less than 24 hours. Regression tes 36.5%  showed relation between time and number of larvae mortality
and allowing another factors influence the larvae mortality such as dose, water, type of solvent, larvae durability (depend on the instar), mixing and place of activities.
