PENGARUH FAKTOR IKLIM DAN KEPADATAN JENTIK AE.AEGYPTI TERHADAP KEJADIAN DBD

The effect of climate factors and density of larvae Ae.aegypti for DHF incidence. Pringsewu district incidence of DHF in 2011 is 30.83/100,000 population, and 2012 increased to 119.16/100,000 population or 381.92% greater than the national average. One of the factors that lead to high incidence of DHF is climate change.This study to determine the effect of climate factors and density of larvae Ae.aegypti for DHF incidence at district Pringsewu. Data analyzed were January 2011-December 2012 from the Health Office of Pringsewu and Meteorology and Geophysics Agency of Lampung Province. The variables studied are rainfall, temperature, humidity, wind speed, density and the incidence of dengue larvae Ae.aegypti. The analysis techniques using path analysis ( path analysis ).The results of the study found that the climatic factors that affect the density of larvae Ae.aegypti are rainfall, amounting to 0.456 (p = 0.025). So that each increase of 1 mm rainfall will increase the density of larvae Ae.aegypti (House Index) of 0.456 %. Total rainfall amount of influence on the incidence of dengue through mosquito larvae density of 0.210 Ae.aegypti. While the influence of external factors on the incidence of DHF is not examined in this study was 0.825. Environmental management by modification and manipulation of the environment is the only one of the most effective efforts to reduce of larvae density and the incidence of DHF. So that public health education activities became subject to create behavioral activity against mosquito bite prevention, the behavior of the control larvae, and health seeking behavior in DHF after infection.
