| description | The ecology and distribution of mosquito larvae have a significant effect on mosquito
populations and in arbovirus transmission. There is no information on the ecology and
distribution of mosquito larvae in the inland area of South Sulawesi, Indonesia. This study
aimed to examine distribution and ecological of mosquito larvae that affect the survival of
arbovirus vectors in the inland area of South Sulawesi. Larvae were obtained in eight locations
of the South Sulawesi region. The collected samples were examined in the Entomology
Laboratory, Faculty of Medicine, Hasanuddin University, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Larvae
were counted, separated by genus and identified to the species level. The physical parameters
of the water in the breeding sites (pH, temperature and salinity) and the ambient relative
humidity were recorded. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS version 24 and the spatial
distribution of larvae was mapped using ArcGIS version 10.5. Results showed that there were
3,803 larvae consisting of Ae. aegypti, Ae. albopictus, Cx. quinquefasciatus, Cx. vishnui, Cx.
tritaenorynchus, Cx. gelidus, and An. vagus. The physical parameters of the water habitat for
mosquito larvae range from a temperature of 24.5°C-34.2°C, water pH 6.3-7.5, humidity 67.8-
89.0, and salinity 0 ppt. We found that mosquito larvae abundant had a significant relationship
(P=0.00) with pH, salinity, temperature, and humidity. Results suggest that the abundance of
arbovirus vectors in the inland of South Sulawesi can be controlled by vector control programs. |
