PEMANTAUAN JENTIK NYAMUK SEBAGAI UPAYA PENCEGAHAN DBD DI KELURAHAN SANGAJI

Abstract

Demam Berdarah Dengue (DBD) merupakan penyakit infeksi yang disebabkan oleh virus dengue, dengan vektor penular berupa nyamuk Aedes aegypti dan Aedes albopictus yang banyak ditemukan di daerah tropis dan subtropis. Dalam upaya pengendalian dan pencegahan DBD, tanggung jawab tidak hanya terletak pada tenaga kesehatan, tetapi juga melibatkan seluruh elemen masyarakat, mulai dari tingkat rumah tangga hingga lingkungan sekitar. Kegiatan ini bertujuan untuk melakukan pemeriksaan jentik nyamuk, pembagian bubuk abate, serta edukasi mengenai DBD kepada masyarakat. Dari hasil observasi di 33 rumah, ditemukan 23 rumah tidak terdapat jentik nyamuk, sedangkan 10 rumah ditemukan jentik di tempat penampungan air seperti ember, bak mandi, dan drum. Diharapkan kegiatan ini mendorong partisipasi aktif masyarakat dalam upaya pengendalian penyakit dan penerapan perilaku hidup bersih dan sehat dalam kehidupan sehari-hari.

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is an infectious disease caused by the dengue virus. The transmission vector is the Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes, commonly found in tropical and subtropical regions. Efforts to control and prevent DHF are not solely the responsibility of health workers but also involve all levels of society, from the household to the surrounding environment. This community-based activity aimed to conduct mosquito larvae inspections, distribute abate powder, and provide public education about DHF. Observations were carried out in 33 houses: 23 houses were found to be free of larvae, while 10 houses had mosquito larvae in water storage containers such as buckets, bathtubs, and drums. It is expected that this initiative will encourage active community participation in disease prevention and the adoption of clean and healthy living behaviors.
