ABSTRACT
Istiqamah, 2019. Effectiveness of the Soursop (Annona muricata Linn) Leaf
Extract on the heat of Aedes aegypti Larvae. Supervised by Arum Kusumastuti
and Fitriani as Supervisor I and Supervisor II.
Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a disease caused by dengue virus
through Aedes aegypti bites. It is one of a vector-based infectious diseases that
has high morbidity and mortality rates. In Indonesia DBD has become serious
problem in public heath since 41 years. Samarinda is one of a dengue endemic
city from 10 districts in East Kalimantan. This research aimed to know the
effectiveness of soursop leaf extract on the death of Aedes agypti larvae. The
research method that is applied in this research is pseudo experiment with
approach post test only control group design. Aedes aegypti that is used in this
research is instar I-IV larvae which is divided into treatment and control groups.
In the treatment group Aedes aegypti larvae was given soursop leaf extract in 5
concentrations 0.10% (0.2 mL extract + 200 mL of water), 0.20% (0.4 mL
extract + 200 mL of water), 0.30% (0.6 mL extract + 200 mL of water), 0.40%
(0.8 mL extract + 200 mL of water), 0.50% (1 mL extract + 200 mL of water), in
the other hand, in control group, Aedes aegypti larvae was only given 200 mL of
mineral water. After it took 24 hours, the result showed the lowest concentration
(0.10%) was only able to kill 96% of instar larvae I and II, and on the highest
concentration (0.50%) was able to kill 100% in all larvaes. So it can be
concluded that there was a significant differences on the number of Aedes aegypti
deaths after given soursop extract in some concentrations with p values <0.05 for
instar I (0.021), instar II (0.011), instar III (0.005) ), instar IV (0.006). Lethal
Concentration 50 (LC50) Instar I was about 0.03%, instar II 0.02%, instar III
0.17%, and instar IV 0.29%.
