STUDI BIOEKOLOGI VEKTOR MALARIA DI KECAMATAN SRUMBUNG, KABUPATEN MAGELANG, JAWA TENGAH

A study of bioecology on malaria vectors had been conducted in July-November 2004 in Nganggrung sub village, Kamongan village Srumbung sub district, Magelang regency, Central Java Province. The objective of the study is to identify the bionomic and resistance's status of malaria vectors against insecticide and malaria cases distribution. Result of the studies revealed that, the water existence in the Salak plantation had become potential as the breeding places for suspected malaria vectors namely Anopheles bala-bacensis, An. aconitus and An. maculatus. Although the rainfall data during the study was very low but three suspected species of malaria vectors were always found biting on man with the density of <0.5/man/hour. The biting activity of An. maculatus as well as occurred through out the night (indoors and outdoors). In addition, before midnight, the biting peak lately revealed. The three-suspected malaria tends to tolerant against both insecticides carbamat and organophosphate. Mapping of malaria cases shows that the breeding places of malaria vector are near to the villager's houses (approximately 25 meters).
