Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is an endemic disease and it’s still a health problem in Ternate City. DHF is reported to occur every year and spread throughout the Districts in the Ternate Island region. Studies with epidemiological approaches according to people, places, and times that describe the incidence of DHF within a period of 10 years need to be known as an evaluation in the control program. The variables examined in this study were gender, age, number of deaths, the incidence of DHF in the subdistrict, and endemicity status. The results showed that male families suffered more DHF than female with 507 male sufferers while 411 female sufferers. The majority of DHF in the age group of 5-14 years with 507 people. The number of deaths resulting from dengue fever cases in 10 years was 31 people. The highest DHF incidence rate was in South Ternate sub-district with 379 cases and the lowest was in Ternate Island sub-district with 15 cases. Endemicity status in 2019 is endemic nine villages, sporadic 45 and seven potential villages. The conclusion of this study is the incidence of dengue hemorrhagic fever is more in men, with the age group of 5-14 years. DHF occurs throughout the year in all districts within the Ternate City area.

Introduction: Dengue Fever (DF) is a disease spread by Aedes spp. caused by dengue virus infection. The study aimed to identify the density of Aedes spp eggs and larvas stages and the characteristics of their habitat in dengue-endemic areas in Ternate City in September-December 2021. Methods: the research was conducted in four dengue-endemic villages in Ternate City, namely Sangaji, Maliaro, Bastiong Karance, and Bastiong Talangame village. In 80 households, egg density was determined by placing 2 ovitraps in each house, one inside and one outside the house. After a week, the filter paper which is a medium mosquito to lay their eggs in the ovitrap was collected, and the ovitrap index value was calculated. The value of the House Index (HI), Container Index (CI), and Breuteu Index (BI) was used to calculate the larval density. The type and materials of the containers were used to assess the parameters of the larval environment. Results: The ovitrap index value in the four villages was categorized as moderate level 3 (27.50% -36.25%). The highest larval density was found in Sangaji Village (HI = 81%), while the lowest was in Bastion Talangame Village (HI = 70%). The highest CI and BI values were found in Bastiong Karance Village (CI=51.5% and BI=190%), and the lowest was in Maliaro Village (CI=37.5% and BI=128%). Density figures in all endemic villages have a high larval density with a value of 8. Conclusion: There was no significant difference (p>0.05) between the types and the materials of containers in each village in Dengue endemic areas. The high density of the egg and larval stage and the information characteristic of habitat Aedes spp. could be considered as basic information for dengue vector control in Ternate City.

Methods: the research was conducted in four dengue-endemic villages in Ternate City, including Sangaji, Maliaro, Bastiong Karance, and Bastiong Talangame. In 80 households, egg density was determined utilizing ovitrap placement of up to two pieces per dwelling, one inside and one outside the house. After a week of ovitrap installation, the filter paper was collected, and the ovitrap index value was calculated. The value of the House Index (HI), Container Index (CI), and Breuteu Index (BI) was used to calculate the larval density. The type and materials of the containers were used to assess the parameters of the larval environment.

Density figures in all endemic villages have a high larval density with a value of 8. Conclusion: There was no significant difference (p>0.05) between the types and the materials of containers in each village in DF endemic areas. The high density of the egg and larval stage and the information characteristic of habitat Aedes spp. Could be considered the basis of information dengue vector prevention and control in Ternate City.
