Deteksi Transmisi Virus Dengue pada Nyamuk Wild Aedes Aegypti Betina di Kota Manado

摘要

: Dengue hemorrhagic fever is an acute disease with clinical manifestations of hemorrhage caused by dengue virus infection. Manado is endemic dengue. Dengue virus has the ability to maintain its existence in nature through horizontal and vertical transmission. There are several ways to detect the dengue virus by Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry Streptavidin Biotin Peroxidase Complex (ISBPC). This research aims to determine the wild Aedes aegypti population in Manado and to detect dengue virus in wild mosquito Aedes aegypti by ISBPC methods. This was a descriptive survey study with a cross sectional design to describe the transmission of dengue virus in wild mosquito Aedes aegypti in the city of Manado. The results showed that there were 5 wild Aedes aegypti mosquitoes positive for dengue virus, and 36 wild Aedes aegypti mosquitoes negative containing dengue virus. Conclusion: Of the 41 samples immunohistochemistry tested, 5 samples showed dengue virus transmission in wild mosquito Aedes aegypti in Manado which is a positive possibility of horizontal transmission.
