Abstract

Mesocyclops aspericornis was investigated for its effectiveness in controlling Aedes aegypti larvae in a variety of containers e.g metal drum, cistern, clay jars, and other container made of plastic. study was carried out in Kenteng hamlet, Tegalrejo village, Salatiga Municipality. It was conducted by health-workers (staff of Vector and Reservoir Control Research Unit and Health Center of Tegalrejo) and the community, especially the woman's organization namely 'family empowering and welfareness ''. which participate in releasing M aspericornis for controlling Ae. aegypti larvae. The community has responsibility to release M aspericornis in Kenteng RT01 and 02 as the treated area I. Meanwhile, Health-workers have responsibility to release it in Kenteng RT 04, 05, and 07 as the treated area II and Ken Ieng RT 03 and 06 as the untreated control area (no M aspericornis released). The aim of the study were: a). lo determine the effectiveness of M. aspericomis in decreasing larval populations of Ae. aegypti in the containers, and b). to determine the Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice (KAP) of the community, referring to disease, vector and control of Dengue Haemorhagic Fever (DHF). aspericornis was effective to decrease larval populations of Ae. aegypti in Kent eng area. The increasing number of Ae. aegypti larvae free containers of 24. 29-84. 02% and 35. 75-92.01% were shown in respectively treated area I and fl. The KAP of the community referring to disease, vector and control of DHF increased after the health education conducted. It's concluded that the community of Kenteng hamlet is active in participation to control Ae. aegypti. As a recommend. control of Ae. aegypti larvae using M aspericornis through community partisipation should be considered due to a good prospect and effectiveness of this agent to control of Ae. aegypti larvae in the laboratory as well as in the field
