Abstract Filariasis (elephantiasis), huntut or tubab people lived in South Kalimantan often mentioned is an annual infectious disease and categorized as neglected tropical disease (NTD) caused by filarial worm. Filariasis is an endemic diseases in Tabalong District, especially Bilas Village. The selective and  Mass Drug Treatment have been conduct in Bilas village but  the village still decided as a  filariasis endemic area, so it  is necessary to study the compliance of the filariasis Mass Drug Assessment (MDA) consumption in the community to against filariasis incidences in Bilas Village. Study was held by Finger Blood Survey (SDJ) and interview using questionnaire about people’s obedience of filariasis MDA drug consumption. 341 responden have been interviewed and held by SDJ, 11 responden were positive filariasis B. malayi in Bilas village. The compliance of people consumed POPM drugs routinely of filariasis patients was only 20% and non patient were 21,64%. It was necessary to conduct a simultaneous MDA  with district coverage area accompanied by medical illumination and socialization to the community. Medication supervisors placed at POPM posts or home-to-home visits was needed to ensure medication is actually consumed by the community, it will be better if the MDA was consumed immediately in front of cadres/health officers. Abstrak Filariasis atau kaki gajah atau sering disebut dengan huntut atau tubab oleh masyarakat Kalimantan Selatan adalah penyakit menular menahun yang merupakan penyakit tropis terabaikan disebabkan oleh cacing filaria. Filariasis endemis di Kabupaten Tabalong, khususnya Desa Bilas. Pengobatan selektif dan pengobatan massal telah dilakukan  namun desa tersebut masih dinyatakan sebagai desa endemis sehingga perlu dilakukan penelitian terhadap kepatuhan masyarakat minum obat pencegah massal terhadap kejadian filariasis di Desa Bilas. Kegiatan yang dilakukan yaitu Survei Darah Jari (SDJ) dan kegiatan wawancara menggunakan kuesioner tentang kepatuhan meminum obat pencegah massal filariasis. Sebanyak 341 responden yang berhasil diwawancara dan dilakukan pemeriksaan darah jari, 11 orang diantaranya positif filariasis jenis parasit B. malayi di Desa Bilas. Kepatuhan masyarakat yang minum obat POPM secara rutin pada penderita hanya 20%, sedangkan pada non penderita sebanyak 21,64%. Perlu dilakukan pengobatan massal serentak sekabupaten disertai dengan sosialisasi dan penyuluhan tentang pengobatan massal kepada masyarakat. Kader pengawas minum obat yang ditempatkan di pos-pos pelaksanaan POPM atau kunjungan dari rumah ke rumah diperlukan untuk memastikan obat benar-benar diminum, akan lebih baik jika obat diminum langsung didepan kader/ petugas kesehatan.

Helminthiasis is a disease caused by intestinal parasite helminth with a high prevalence and spread throughout Indonesia, not deadly but secretly and slowly affect the health and productivity of patients through the decline in nutritional status. Slow and less symptom-prone effects cause the disease to be neglected among other diseases. This research is descriptive observational with cross sectional design, to know the description of nutritional status and risk factors of helminthiasis at elementary school children suffering from helminth in Meratus Dayak community, conducted in April 2017 at SDN Loksado and SDN Tanuhi, Loksado Subdistrict, Hulu Sungai Selatan Regency, South Kalimantan Province. The results showed 6.5% of helminthiasis occurred in the Dayak community in the Loksado Subdistrict. Helminthiasis consists caused by hookworm (58.33%), Enterobius (16.66), Hymenolepis (8.33%), Trichuris (8.33%), and mix infection of hookworm and enterobius (8.33%). However, this helminthiasis has not had an impact on the patient's nutritional status and progressed without symptoms, indicated by the nutritional status of patients who are mostly in the normal category until the fat. Although helminthiasis is not a deadly disease and is emergency, but the risk factor of helminthiasis in the patient can cause chronic infestation and transmission to other children.

Abstract. Aedes albopictus can act as a primary or secondary vector of dengue hemorrhagic fever andchikungunya. Its population needs to be controlled. One of the environmentally-friendly control methods isthe use of ovitrap. Ovitrap will be more optimal if it added by attractant substances from easily obtainedingredients in the surrounding environment. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of attractants inthe form of water-soaked paddy (Oryza sativa), cogongrass (Imperata cylindrica) and Indian goosegrass(Eleusine indica). An experimental study with a completely randomized design (CRD) was carried out at theEntomology Laboratory of Balai Litbangkes Tanah Bumbu in January - April 2018. The population of thisstudy is the 10th filial of Ae. albopictus laboratory colonization and gravid female mosquito as samples.Material combination in the study was paddy straw soaking water (ARJP), Indian goosegrass immersionwater, cogongrass soaking water, Ae albopictus used eggs laying water (ABT), and distilled water as control(K). Repetition was done five times. Effectiveness of attractants analyzed by ANOVA and LSD tests. Datanormality tested by Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, if it was not fulfilled, the Kruskal Wallis test was used. Theresults showed that the use of attractants of water-soaked paddy, Indian goosegrass and cogongrass provedto have a different effect on the number of Aedes albopictus mosquito eggs compared to aquades and eggslaying water, but there was no influence between the three types of attractants.

Background and Aim: Lymphatic filariasis, also known as elephantiasis, still remains a problem in Indonesia. The primary causative species of this disease are the filarial worms Wuchereria bancrofti and Brugia spp. This study was conducted to identify the diversity of species and behavior of mosquitoes and to determine the mosquitoes that could be potential vectors of filariasis. Materials and Methods: Mosquito samples derived from Hulu Sungai Utara (HSU) district in the 2017 multicenter study conducted in Indonesia were used in this cross-sectional study. The diversity of mosquito species was analyzed using the Shannon–Wiener diversity index. Mosquitoes were identified based on their species, and their DNA was isolated by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Transcription-insulated isothermal PCR method was used to detect microfilariae/filaria larvae in the mosquitoes. Results: Biodiversity was found in 14 species of mosquitoes belonging to five genera. The maximum number of mosquitoes was recorded from the species Mansonia dives, Culex vishnui, Culex quinquefasciatus, and Mansonia uniformis. W. bancrofti infection was detected in M. uniformis at an infectivity rate of 0.3% (n=311). Conclusion: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of M. uniformis species as a vector of W. bancrofti in HSU district, Indonesia. More efficient and accurate studies are required to aid in the lymphatic filariasis elimination programs in this subregion.
