Fahrul Islam, Fajar Akbar

Abstract


Dengue virus causes dengue fever (DHF), the type of mosquito carrying the virus is Aedes aegypti. One indicator of the high incidence of DHF cases is Aedes aegypti larvae as a vector of dengue disease. To suppress the insect population of the carrier vector by using safer natural larvacides which can be obtained from various types of plants. Orange and lime has chemical compounds that can kill larvae namely limonoida. Therefore, research will be conducted to prove the effectiveness of sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) and lime (Citrus aurantifolia) as Aedes aegypti biolarvasida. This research was conducted at the Ministry Health Polytechnic of Mamuju Integrated Laboratory in March - August 2018. The object of this research was peel extract of Sweet Orange (Citrus sinensis) and Lime (Citrus aurantifolia) which will be exposed to instar III and IV Aedes aegypti larvae. This study included the type of experiment with a completely randomized design. Primary data obtained from the calculation of the number of deaths of Aedes aegypti larvae. Then analyzed using descriptive analysis and Kruskal-Wallis. Observations were carried out for 24 hours which observed in three observation times, namely 8, 16 and 24 hours. The results were the number of larval deaths exposed to the extract of sweet orange peel (Citrus sinensis) and on the extract of lime peel (Citrus aurantifolia) with an average mortality of 48% and 97.3%, respectively. Lime peel extract can kill more than 50% of Aedes aegypti larvae. The conclusion is that lime peel extract (Citrus aurantifolia) is most effective as Aedes aegypti biolarvasida compared to sweet orange peel extract (Citrus sinensis).
