Abstract
Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is one of the many health problems that occur in Indonesia and it’s increasingly widespread. This study conducted a susceptibility test for mosquitoes Aedes aegypti against insecticides used in the province of South Kalimantan. Larva capture surveys, environmental observations in 300 houses in each districts province (each district represented by 3 endemic health center work areas) in South Kalimantan province. The larvae obtained by reared until the adult mosquito is of the third progeny (F3) and then tested against Malathion insecticide 0.8%). The results of the Malathion susceptibility 0.8%, in 8 districts in the Province of South Kalimantan illustrate the conditions of resistance in all regions. In addition, the results of the susceptibility test showed that the Aedes aegypti mosquito was 0.8% Malathion resistant. Therefore, it is recommended that a program be able to intensify the PSN movement, rotation of insecticide active ingredients, supervision of technical officers or larvae monitors.
