Abstract

Ectoparasites are parasites that live on rats as their hosts, and the port is one of the breeding grounds for rats that must be protected or a place that must be free from rats. Rats can contain ectoparasites that are harmful to human health. This study aims to see the description of ectoparasites in rats at Kuala Tungkal Port, Jambi Province.This study is an exploratory study, which describes ectoparasites in rats in the Kuala Tungkal Port Health Office with an area of 280,000 m2. The research was carried out by installing traps at points that represent the presence of rats.The results found 3 types of mice, namely Mus musculus, Rattus diardii, and Rattus norvegicus, the most types of mice found were Mus musculus. Xenopshylla cheopis ectoparasite was found in Rattus diardii rats. It is necessary to monitor and control rat eradication in the port working area, as well as improve sanitation.

Abstract

Tanjung Jabung Barat is a tidal area and is one of the endemic areas for dengue fever in South Sumatra. The highest cases were in the Kuala Tungkal Health Center area, especially in Tungkal III Village. This study aimed to determine the characteristics of the container which Aedes sp. prefer as breeding places. The research was conducted using visual methods inside and outside the home and identified the characteristics of each landfill. The results showed that 54.5% (36 out of total 66 houses were inspected) and 14.9% (57 of 381 TPA inspected) found Aedes sp. Based on its characteristics, the Aedes sp. prefer to lay eggs in TPA made of plastic (16.0%), drum-type (21.3%), and without cover (18.0%). Based on water sources, larva Aedes sp. more common in landfills that collect rainwater (26.0%) and outside the house (19.1%). Limited clean water sources encourage people to use large TPAs to collect rainwater. The use of abate, periodic larva monitoring, and increasing public knowledge are actions that must be taken.
