Pigs play a role as amplifier hosts for Japanese enchephalitis (JE). Surveillance of JEV infection on pigs, is, therefore undoubtedly important to prevent its transmission to humans. This study aims to investigate the infection rates of JE in pigs as a risk of JE in human. The study area was located  in Tulungagung regency, one of the regencies in East Java with the largest number of pig farms. This was a cross sectional study, involving five pig farms in Tulungagung Regency during April-November 2016, with a total of 63 pigs examined. Venous blood was examined by JEV specific IgG-Enzyme Link Immuno-Sorbent Assay (ELISA). The results showed that the JE infection rates in overall pig samples was 19.05% (12/63). The prevalence of Ab JE in 4-6 month pigs is higher (22.7%) than in 2-3 month pigs. The infections in pigs tend to be higher (23.1%) in farms found to be positive for Culex larvae. Sex and age of the pig and the presence of Culex larvae surround pig farms were not significantly associated with JE infection rates in pigs. In conclusion, the presence of JE virus antibodies in pigs population in Tulungagung indicates that there is a potency of JE virus transmission to humans.

Introduction: Some regions in Indonesia still have a problem with malaria, particularly in eastern Indonesia. Notwithstanding, Java island has some regencies that have not reached a target of elimination like in a Menoreh Hill. A factor of climate influences the transmission of malaria vector. A suitable climate eases the vector to breed and is the potential for transmitting disease. Information on climate and malaria endemicity is very beneficial to arrange a policy of malaria control to reach the target of malaria elimination in 2030 in Indonesia.Objective: This study aimed to describing climate and malaria endemicity on Menoreh Hill from 2005 to 2015. Method: This was a descriptive spatial analysis. The unit of analysis was all 43 endemic villages located on Menoreh Hill. Monthly malaria data were collected for 11 years and obtained from health centers. Data on population number per village per year were obtained from the Central Bureau of Statistics. Meanwhile, data of climate were collected from four stations available at the research site. Furthermore, descriptive and spatial analyses were performed using the software of Arc Gis. Data on climate were analysed using an interpolation method of IDW and then were overlaid with malaria cases. Results: The results of this research showed that API on Menoreh Hill tended to increase until the year of 2015. In addition, number of villages with categories of MCI and HCI also rose significantly , especially in Purworejo Regency. The results of interpolation for temperature and rainfall data demonstrated that an area with temperature ranging from 25.0 o C to 26.5 o C and rainfall ranging from 5.6 mm/month to 6.5 mm/month was the most malaria cases.

Background: Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a public health problem in Indonesia. The dengue virus causes the disease through mosquito Aedes aegypti bite. This study aims to describe Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) in Semanu II Primary Health Centre, GunungKidul, Yogyakarta.Methods: This is a quantitative study with a descriptive approach, describing DHF based variable person, place, and time, using secondary data. Data collection was carried out in August 2019 from secondary data reports SP2TP UPT PuskesmasSemanu II period January-June 2019.Results: Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF), which occurred in the region of Primary Health Center Semanu II in 2019, was a total of 18 cases with Incidence Rate 72/100,000 population. The majority of cases were found in the age group 6-11 years. 67% of the cases occurred in males. 72% of the cases happened in Pacarejo village. Most of the DHF incidence occurred in March (39%). Conclusions: The incidence of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever in Primary Health Care Semanu II, most occurred in Pacarejo village, the majority in the age group 6-11 years. Male were the most infected group. And the highest DHF incidence occurred in March 2019
