ABSTRACT
Mosquito-breeding sites are closely related to macro and micro environmental factors, especially the lack of availability of water, which makes people store water in containers. This study aims to analyze the factors that affect the presence of larvae and pupae. This is a survey using stratified random sampling method in 2,035 houses and inspected 5,984 containers. The analysis was generalized estimating equation (GEE). Aedes aegypti were found in 90% of containers, Aedes albopictus in 3.5 %, other Aedes species in 5% and Culex in 4.2%. The Stegomyia index showed high infestation of mosquito in all study areas. Volume influences the presence of larvae in containers whereas the presence of pupae as a proxy of adult mosquitoes is related to the volume of containers, plant-covered containers in total and in part, and containers that are entirely and partially closed. It is concluded that containers containing larvae and pupae are large-volume containers that are not closed or partially closed with water sources from rainwater and well water. Bandung city has a high risk of DHF outbreaks.
