Abstract

In several regions of Indonesia, dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is still a serious health problem. Controlling the vector of DHF can be done through breaking the life cycle of the Aedes aegypti mosquito. One of the easy and effective ways to break the life cycle of mosquitoes is in the larval phase. Lantana leaves (Lantana camara L.) contain active compounds lantadine, essential oils, flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, and tannins. The use of biolarvicides is an effort to reduce the preventive occurrence of mosquito larvae resistance to temephos, and reduce the risk of decreased public health due to the use of chemical larvicides. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of lantana leaf essential oil as a biolarvicide against dengue vectors. The method used in this study is distillation, and for the process of testing the effectiveness of biolarvicides is to calculate the number of deaths of larvae that have been treated so that the percent mortality value is obtained and continued by calculating the LC50 and LC90 values using the probit test. The results showed that lantana leaf essential oil (Lantana camara) is effective as a biolarvicide. The LC50 was 0.562% and LC90 was 1.203% at the 12th hour. The ANOVA test showed that there were significant differences in each concentration of 0.5%, 1%, 3%, 5%, negative control and positive control because the p-value was 0.000 <0.05. From the results of this study it can be said that the compounds contained in lantana leaf essential oil (Lantana camara) have the potential as a biolarvicide against Aedes aegypti larvae.
