Abstract
A variety of tropical diseases become major problems in Indonesia, one of them is dengue fever. This disease is a serious one and needed attention from the national health teams, including in Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY). This research aims to acknowledge the resistancy status of Aedes spp. on insecticides from organophosphate group in a dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF)-endemic region in DIY. The research was done from June to October 2017. Samplings of mosquito eggs and larvae were done in Sorosutan, Umbulharjo, Yogyakarta (a DHF-endemic region). Rearing was done in the Laboratory of Animal Systematics (Parasitology), Faculty of Biology until they reached maturity and resistancy tests of Aedes spp. on organophosphate insecticides by biochemical methods. The resistancy status of Aedes spp. in Sorosutan, Umbulharjo, Yogyakarta in neighborhoods 4, 8, and 15 is 100% sensitive or vulnerable whereas in neighborhoods 3 and 13 is 87.5 % sensitive and 12.5 % mildly resistant. It is expected that attention should be gained from society, health agencies, or government in coping with rising resistancy of Aedes spp.
