Spatial Analysis of Breeding Place and Larva Density Existence with DHF (Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever) Incidence Rate in Pringsewu District, Indonesia

Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a type infectious disease that often causes extraordinary events in Indonesia. Pringsewu District is one area that has experienced an increase in dengue cases every year. One of the risk factors for the occurrence of DHF is the presence of breeding places and vector density. Vector density can be measured through ABJ, HI, and CI values. This research aims to determine the region’s level of vulnerability against DHF incidents, the relationship of Breeding Place existence, ABJ, HI and CI with DHF incidents in Pringsewu District. This research uses an observational analytic method with a cross sectional approach, data are analyzed using overlay map and correlation statistical tests. The results showed that there was a relationship between breeding place (p=0,000), ABJ (p=0,000), HI (p=0,000), and CI (p=0,000) with the incidence of DHF.
