Abstract

The increase of dengue fever cases year to year make it necessary to control. One way to control dengue is to kill mosquito larvae by using abatization method. The use of abate has affect abate users and the occurrence of resistance in Aedes sp. Carica Papaya Linnaeus are approptiate to be used as mosquito larvae repellent Aedes sp because it has toxins contained in papaya seeds are saponins. The aim of the study was to determine the effectiveness of carica papaya linnaeus as a larvicide of Aedes sp. This research was an experiment with posttest only control group design, using 4 treatments (10 ml, 20 ml, 30 ml, and 40 ml) and 1 control. The objects used are 300 Aedes sp larvae that have reached instar III. Carica papaya linnaeus was extracted by maceration method. Each treatment contained 20 larvae and was repeated 3 times. Data were analyzed by univariate and bivariate. Results of univariate analysis of the number of dead larvae at various doses that died at the lowest total percentage of 35% at a dose of 10 ml and the highest percentage of 100% at a dose of 40 ml. The results showed that there was a significant effect on the difference in the dosage of the carica papaya linnaeus solution used on the mortality of Aedes sp, meanwhile Bonferroni's analysis showed a dose of 40 ml was effective as a larvicide of Aedes sp instar III. It is recommended to use a solution of carica papaya linnaeus to control aedes larvae.
