ABSTRACT

Aedes aegypti mosquito IS vector of Dengue Haemorhagic fever. One of the method to
prevent the spread of dengue fever. Main activity mosquito vector control is expected to
decrease transmission of disease. One way of controlling mosquitoes vector is use
bioinsecticide from basil leaf. Basil leaf extract has effect as bioinsecticide for Aedes aegypti,
because basil leaf has some active compounds, as Flavonoid, Saponin, Tannin and essential
oils with toxic effect against mosquitoes. The purpose of this study is to determine the
effectiveness of basil leaf (Ocimum basilicum L.) extract as mosquito coil againsst Aedes
aegypti. The design is experimental study with 450 subjects mosquito of Aedes aegypti.
Subjects are divided into six treatment groups, are 0% (negative control), 25%, 50%. 70%,
90% and Transfluthrin 0,03% (positive control). Each group contained 25 mosquitoes.
Observation is carried out for 60 minutes with 10 minutes of interval and three times of
repetition. The Data is analyzed by probit to calculate the value of Lethal consentration. The
result of Probit Analyze showed that LC50 is at a concentration of 41,81% and LC90 is at
concentration of 101.66%. The results show that the extract of basil leaf (Ocimum basilicum
L.) effective as Aedes aegypti bioinsecticide in mosquito coil.
