Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever is an acute febrile disease caused by the dengue virus that enters the human bloodstream through a mosquito's bite from the genus Aedes. Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus are the main vectors of dengue transmission. DHF prevention is carried out by breaking the chain of transmission, and then biological insecticides have the potential to control vectors. This study used an experimental research design with Post Test Only Control Group Design. Data analysis used the One-Way ANOVA Test and Bonferroni Test. The study showed that the average percentage of larval mortality at a concentration of 0.10% was 27%, a concentration of 0.20% was 51%, a concentration of 0.30% was 74%, and a concentration of 0.40% was 100%. The results of the One-Way Anova test obtained a p-value= 0.000 (p=<0.05), so there was a significant difference in the number of larvae that died at various concentrations, and the results of the Bonferroni Test showed that the most effective concentration against the death of Aedes aegypti larvae was a concentration of 0,40%. It is expected further research finds more applicable citrus aurantifolia and allium sativum formulations to make it easier in the community.
