Abstract
Background: The population of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes is a major vector for dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF), posing a public health problem in various countries, including Indonesia. The use of active ingredients from plants as larvicides is an interesting alternative due to their environmentally friendly nature and potential effectiveness in controlling the Aedes aegypti mosquito population. Objective: This research aims to compare the effectiveness of ethanol extracts from kawista fruit and avocado leaves on the mortality of Aedes aegypti larvae. Ethanol extracts from kawista fruit and avocado leaves were obtained through extraction processes using an evaporator and water bath. Instar III-IV mosquito larvae were obtained from the Parasitology laboratory at the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Muhammadiyah Surakarta. Method: The study was conducted with a true experimental laboratory design using the posttest-only control group method. Larval mortality data were analyzed using appropriate statistical tests. Results: The results show that ethanol extracts from kawista fruit and avocado leaves are effective in inducing mortality in Aedes aegypti larvae. The measurements of mortality (at 6 hours, 12 hours, 18 hours, and 24 hours) revealed that treatment A2 (1.75% Kawista Fruit + Aquadest) resulted in higher mortality. Thus, Kawista fruit extract (Limonia acidissima) is more effective compared to avocado leaf extract (Persea americana Mill.). Conclusion: This research indicates that ethanol extracts from kawista fruit and avocado leaves have the potential as effective larvicides in controlling the population of Aedes aegypti larvae, offering new hope in efforts to control diseases caused by this mosquito vector.
