Plasmodium Knowlesi: Distribusi, Gambaran Mikroskopis, Gejala Penderita Dan Vektor Potensial

Malaria in humans is caused by an infection of genus Plasmodium, especially P. falciparum, P. vivax.P.mulariae and P. ovate. Types of Plasmodium in animals that can inject humans is P. knowlesi. Animalswhich are found parasites in their body are long tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis) and pig-tailedmacaques (Macaca nemestrina). .There have been many cases with positive malaria knowlesi as ithappened in Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Philippines, Myanmar, China, Vietnam and Indonesia. Studyof P. knowlesi aims to give an overview of the • case distribution, microscopic. features, patient characteristic, potential vector, as well as potential spread of malaria knowlesi in Indonesia. The methodused in this study is study literature from various sources. The microscopic features of the parasite inpatient blood films is pretty similar to P. falciparum and P. malariae in certain stadium. Therefore more awareness are needed regarding the spread of this parasite, especially in border areas of malaria endemiccountries and newly arrived immigrants in endemic areas of P. knowlesi

Vector Control Using Sterile Insect Technique (Sit)

Penyakit tular vektor seperti malaria dan demam berdarah dengue masih menjadi masalah kesehatan di dunia dan Indonesia khususnya. Upaya pengendalian vektor telah lama dilakukan untuk memutuskan rantai penularan. Saat ini upaya pengendalian vektor sangat tergantung pada penggunaan insektisida kimia dan berdampak terjadinya resistensi pada nyamuk. Berbagai rintangan tersebut memicu pengembangan metode atau strategi tertentu. Teknologi nyamuk yang dimodifikasi secara genetik (GMM) telah berkembang selama lebih dari 50 tahun. Teknik Serangga Mandul (TSM) adalah salah satu metode dalam GMM. Tulisan ini menyajikan konsep tentang TSM, hasil dari beberapa penelitian sebelumnya dan isu etik. TSM menawarkan keuntungan-keuntungan bila dibandingkan metode yang sekarang tengah digunakan. Kendala dalam pelaksanannya antara lain kondisi fisik serangga yang diaplikasikan dan sumber daya manusia. Secara umum, konsep TSM adalah pelepasan nyamuk jantan yang sebelumnya telah disterilisasi di laboratorium ke dalam populasi. Metode TSM telah memberikan dampak positif terhadap pengendalian serangga hama pertanian. Kata kunci: vektor, teknik serangga mandul, nyamuk modifikasi geneti

Pengamatan Larva Aedes di Desa Sukaraya Kabupaten Oku dan di Dusun Martapura Kabupaten Oku Timur Tahun 2004

An observation study on Larvae of Aedes has been conducted in Sukaraya village (OKU) and Martapura village (OKU Timur) in early November 2004. Sukaraya village is an endemic area of DHF (Dengue Haemorragic Fever) while Martapura village represent a non endemic area for DHF, but both areas known to have high resident mobilization and density. The objective of this study was to observe the types of Aedes breeding site and its density. Results of this study indicate that the most dominant (indoor) container positive with larvae was "bak" (concrete reservoirs), while there were 3 types of container frequently found outdoor, there were "drum", "bak" and plastic buckets. From all containers found with lar\>a those were mainly found in uncover condition. HI, CI, and BI as Larvae indexes were 45%, 19% and 55% respectively for Sukaraya. while for Martapura were 30%. 14.9% and 40% respectively
