Abstract

Among the primary vectors of infections agent involved in the case of dengue epidemic, are the Culicidae-insect, Aedes albopictus, capable of introducing themselves in urban core. This study performed a survey mosquitos species by catching their egg using ovitrap installed within seven regions in residential area of Sandubaya District, Lombok, Indonesia. The collected samples were identified and was analyzed its abundance then mapped using geographical information system. The most abundance of Ae. albopictus was found in Selagalas and Abian Tubuh with relative abundance value were 100% and 97.5% respectively. Spatial analysis showed that the site with highest abundance of Ae. albopictus presented lowest species distribution (15%). This finding was associated with densities population and existence of home industry which was centered at certain sites. This such an environment provides infesting are for dengue vector, thus surveillance for controlling dengue vector in those areas is a necessary.
