Abstract
Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is still a health problem in South Kalimantan. Series of outbreak of dengue cases covers almost all over districts/municipalities in the Province of South Kalimantan. This study carried out the susceptibility test of Aedes aegypti larvae against the larvacide temephos in eight districts/municipalities in South Kalimantan Province. Larvae Ae.aegypti taken in three areas of the health center with the most endemic for dengue, then reared in the Tanah Bumbu National Agency of Health Research and Development laboratory to the third progeny. The F-3 progeny larvae were exposed to temephos solution with concentrations 0.02 ppm for one hour and the larval mortality were counted every hour. The results showed mortality of larvae with 0.02 ppm concentrations of temephos below 80% and defined as resistant. Surveillance regarding this susceptibility should be continued for a wider area as the initial control measures for spreading of larval resistance against temephos.
