Abstract
Dengue fever is one of the most concerning health problems in Indonesia. For this time, there are no medicines or vaccines found to prevent this disease from manifesting. Rigorous studies are still conducted intensively. Hence, vector prevention and control efforts become very important. Pupa index was the indicator to conduct surveillance, measure Aedes aegypti population density and predict transmission risk. Pupa index was used to measure HPI, CPI, pupae / person, pupae / house, and pupa / container. This research is aimed to determine the biggest reproduction habitat, population density and pupae percentage in five sub districts in DKI Jakarta; Johar Baru( Central Jakarta), Tanjung Priok( North Jakarta), Kramat Jati( East Jakarta), Kebun Jeruk( West Jakarta), and Cilandak( South Jakarta).
The result of this study showed various reproduction of Aedes aegypti pupae habitat. They were water containers( bathtub, lavatory, drums, jars, buckets, tubs ablution and bath water litters) and nonwater containers( used goods, unused wells, vase, flower pots, pool, and aquarium, drinking birds, dispenser and bath tub) and natural habitats( pieces of bamboo and leaf midrib). The mean value of pupae index in five research regions were CPI = 8.45 %; HPI = 23.98 %; pupae / person = 0.65; pupae / house = 3.58; and pupae / container = 0.96. There’ s an index number consistency in all research regions. If the HPI index is high, the other pupae indexes will be high too. Hence, we offer the awareness poster titled Compass: Concern in the prevention of Aedes Aegypti, which campaigning the 3M program: drain the tub( menguras), close water tank( menutup) and bury tin cans( mengubur).
