- Abstract
Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is caused by the Dengue virus, transmitted through the bite of Aedes aegypti mosquito. Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is one of the infectious diseases that remains a public health problem up to this day. Lantana plant (Lantana camara L.) is a type of wild plant that has colorful flowers and unpleasant smell. This study aimed to determine the potential of lantana leaf extract (Lantana camara L.) to repel (Repellent) Aedes aegypti mosquitoes at various concentrations. The form of the research was quasi-experimental with posttest only control group design and completely randomized design (CRD) in the use. The samples used were 20 Aedes aegypti mosquitoes for each of concentrations. The results of statistical analysis using the One Way ANOVA test showed that lantana leaf extract (Lantana camara L.) has the potential as an Aedes aegypti mosquito repellent, with the repellent average for concentration of 10% is 60%, 20% is 75%, and 30% is 90%. In addition, based on the results of the LSD test, the number of mosquitoes that resisted among concentrations of lantana leaf extract (Lantana camara L.) also had a significant difference that is (p < 0.05). The conclusion of this study is that lantana leaf extract has the potential as an Aedes aegypti mosquito repellent in various concentrations.
