| Popis: | AbstrakLatar belakang: Nyamuk Aedes aegypti merupakan salah satu penyebab penyakit Demam Berdarah Dengue (DBD). Sebagai salah satu upaya pencegahannya, bahan tanaman sering dijadikan sebagai bahan penolak nyamuk, di antaranya Zodia (Evodia suaveolens Scheff) dan Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.). Salah satu pengembangan yang banyak dilakukan adalah modifikasi sediaan yang mudah dipakai agar lebih tahan lama, misalnya formulasi gel minyak atsiri. Tujuan dari penelitian ini yaitu mengetahui efek penambahan zat fiksatif (minyak nilam) terhadap daya proteksi repelan gel Rosemary dan Zodia.Metode:Penelitian ini bersifat ekperimen yang menggunakan minyak atsiri dari bunga Rosemary dan daun Zodia dengan konsentrasi masing-masing 0,1%, 0,5%, 1%, 2%, 4%. Kontrol (+) menggunakan N,Ndiethyl-3-methylbenzamide (DEET) dan kontrol (-) menggunakan lengan tanpa perlakuan. Uji repelan menggunakan lengan sukarelawan yang sudah dilatih. Pengamatan dilakukan tiap jam selama enam jam. Daya proteksi baik jika bernilai 90% atau lebih. Hasil:Data menunjukkan bahwa penambahan zat fiksatif meningkatkan daya proteksi repelan mulai dari konsentrasi 2% untuk Rosemary dan konsentrasi 4% untuk Zodia. Daya proteksi di atas 90% selama 6 jam. Kesimpulan:Penambahan zat fiksatif gel Rosseamary dan Zodia terbuti efektif untuk meningkatkan daya proteksi repelen terhadap nyamuk Aedes aegypti.

One method of preventing dengue is to use bio insecticides from plants. A plant that is often used as a mosquito repellent is Zodia (Evodia suaveolens scheff) and Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis l.). Some studies have modified the dosage of bio insecticides to achieve more durable repellent, including developing a gel form. The aim of this study is to measure the protective effect of additional fixative material (patchouli oil) on Rosemary and Zodia repellent. Methods:This was an experimental study using gel made from essential oil of Rosemary flowers and Zodia leaves with concentrations of 0.1%, 0.5 %, 1 %, 2 %, 4 %, respectively. Control (+) group used N, N-diethyl-3 (methylbenzamide (DEET) on the arms, while control (-) group were arms with no treatment.The repellent was tested on the arms of trained volunteers, which were then observed every hour for six hours. The protective effectiveness was satisfactory if ≥90%. Results:Addition of fixative material increased the durability of repellent, starting from concentration of 2% for Rosemary and concentration of 4% for Zodia. The protective effectiveness was 90% for more than 6 hours. Conclusion:The modified gel of Zodia and Rosemary proved to be a potential repellent against Aedes aegyptimosquitos.
