ABSTRACT

Aedes aegypti larvae distribution study was conducted in Sin Lin and Anout Taw villages in Pakokku Township Magway Region using non-intervention descriptive field investigation method. A total of 50 households each were randomly inspected for Aedes larvae positivity in Sin Lan and Anout Taw villages. Aedes larvae positive containers of different container categories as major, minor and miscellaneous sources and types were recorded and compared with each other. Larva indices as House Index (HI), Container Index (CI), Breteau Index (BI) and percentage of Key containers, Key premises and Pupal indices were also calculated. Result found that a total of 30(60.00%) and 44(88%) of households were found to be Aedes larvae positive in water storage containers in Sin Lin and Anout Taw village. Larva positivity were found 21.91% and 71.19% of major, 11.82% and 32.16% of minor and 47.37% and 60.00% of miscellaneous containers in Sin Lan and Anout Taw village respectively. In Sin Lan and Anout Taw villages, 37.50% and 42.86% of bago jar in major, 22.22% earthen pots and 41.82% earthen flower pots in minor, and 22.22% and 53.33% discarded earthen pots in miscellaneous containers were found highest percentage of positive containers. Positivity of key premises was higher 18(36%) in Anout Taw than 5(10%) in Sin Lin villages although key container were not difference in both areas i.e. 6(12%) and 7(11.67%). Larval indices such as House Index (HI) Container Index (CI) and Breteau Index (BI) were found to be 60.00%, 15.46%, 120 and 88.00%, 43.92%, 224 respectively in Sin Lan and Anout Taw villages. Pupal indices in villages were found to be highest in children 6.18 and 7.02 Pupae/child followed by pupae/household i.e. 4.2 and 7.02 in Sin Lan and Anout Tow village. In conclusion bago jars, earthen pots, earthen flower vases were highly positive for Aedes larvae. Mostly big bago jars, metal drums, plastic drum, concrete tank, water cleaning tank and manmade tree hold (which were used for cattle feed baths were found over 1500 each larvae) were found key containers. Therefore, there were urgently need to control Aedes larvae in both areas using different larval control methods which are biological method as releasing larvivorous fishes, dragon fly nymph, mechanical method as nets sweeper, chemical method as abate which is more suitable and also need community base participation.
