Abstract

Bantarjati subdistrict is an area that has the highest dengue cases in the city of Bogor during 2007 to 2011. The purpose of this research was to observe the behavior of biting and resting Aedes spp. Mosquito collection was done by human landing collection and resting collection from 08.00 to 17.00 in Bantarjati subdistrict during April−July 2012. The results showed that Aedes aegypti was more active indoor the house (0.24 mosquito/person/hour) than outdoor (0.16 mosquito/person/hour) with the biting activity occurred at 10.00−11.00 (0.42 mosquito/person/hour) and at 16.00−17.00 (0.21 mosquito/person/hour). While Ae. albopictus was more active outdoor the house (0.18 mosquito/person/hour) than indoor (0.05 mosquito/person/hour) with the biting activity occurred at 10.00−11.00 (0.42 mosquito/person/hour) and at 14.00−15.00 (0.17 mosquito/person/hour). Ae. aegypti was found resting more indoor the house (0.03 mosquito/house) than outdoor (0.02 mosquito/house), while Ae. albopictus was found resting more outdoor the house (0.01 mosquito/house) than indoor (0.00 mosquito/home). The result of Pearson’s correlation analysis showed that the relationship between the rainfall index with the density of Ae. aegypti (r=0.94, P>0.05), and Ae. albopictus (r=0:49, P>0.05).
