“…Mosquitoes mainly breed in places with standing water, such as sewers. Human activities such as poor sanitation levels and careless disposal of used goods can also result in the creation of new larval habitats so that the number of mosquitoes can increase (Fagbohun, Idowu, Awolola, & Otubanjo, mosquitoes are mostly inactive and mostly rest in dark places, such as corners of rooms or shelters during the day (Rani, Surendran, & Thatheyus, 2020).

Culex spp. is a vector for Japanese Encephalitis (JE) and filariasis in Indonesia. JE is caused by Japanese Encephalitis Virus (JEV). JEV attacks the central nervous system and causes inflammation of the brain, lifelong disability, and even death. Filariasis is a chronic infectious disease that can cause permanent disability. Transmission of JE and filariasis can increase due to the density of Culex spp mosquitoes. The purpose of this study was to identify the distribution of mutation variations in the Voltage Gated Sodium Channel (VGSC) and acetylcholinesterase-1 (ace-1) genes in Culex spp. mosquitoes in Surabaya. Mutation variations of the VGSC Culex spp. gene show that there are three genotypes, namely wildtype (LL), heterozygous (LS, FS), and homozygous (FF, SS). Heterozygous (FS) and homozygous (FF, FS) genotypes caused by point mutations in codon 1014 of the VGSC gene are found in the Culex spp. mosquito population in Surabaya. Heterozygous (LF) genotype was not detected in the Culex spp. mosquito population in Surabaya. Another study in Nigeria showed that homozygous/FF genotypes (45.1%) were more prevalent than heterozygotes/LF (36.3%) and wildtypes/LL (18.6%).

Culex quinquefasciatus is a mosquito known as Japanese encephalitis (JE) vector in several regions in Indonesia. The bioecological study is essential to optimize the vector control of JE. The purpose of the study was to obtain the ecological information of Cx. quinquefasciatus in 15 provinces in Indonesia: Aceh, West Sumatra, Lampung, Bangka Belitung, Banten, West and East Java, West and South Kalimantan, North and Southeast Sulawesi, East and West Nusa Tenggara, Maluku, and North Maluku. Mosquitoes were collected using the human landing catches (HLCs), light trap, and morning resting collection. The larva survey was conducted in potential habitats of Cx. quinquefasciatus. The mosquito was detected for the JE virus using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method. The distribution of Cx. quinquefasciatus was recorded using a GPS tool and visualized using Global Mapper. The results showed that Cx. quinquefasciatus in 15 provinces had similar behavior. The Cx. quinquefasciatus sucked blood indoors and was found throughout the night. Peak density of Cx. quinquefasciatus varies by province. Cx. quinquefasciatus breeding places are found in most ecosystems in various altitudes. Based on PCR examination, the JE virus has not been detected, thus lowering the potential for JE transmission in some provinces in Indonesia.

Mosquito repellents reduce human-vector contact of vector-borne diseases. We compared the repellent activity of 10 undiluted essential oils (anise, basil, bergamot, coriander, patchouli, peppermint, petitgrain, rosemary, sage and vetiver) against A. aegypti, A. dirus and C. quinquefasciatus using the arm-in-cage method. Petitgrain oil was the most effective against A. aegypti (270 min). Peppermint oil was the most effective against A. dirus (180 min). Interestingly, all single oils had attributes of repellency against C. quinquefasciatus (ranged, 120–360 min). Moreover, we integrated their binary combinations of highly effective essential oils against A. aegypti and A. dirus to potentially increase the protection time. A 1:1 combination of petitgrain/basil, petitgrain/coriander, basil/coriander and basil/sage reduced the median complete-protection time of 150 min for A. aegypti; a combination of sage and patchouli oils prolonged the median complete-protection time of 270 min for A. dirus. Combining essential oils effect protection time from these two mosquito species.
