Analisis Kepadatan Lalat Pada Rumah Makan Di Pasar Jajan Kota Gorontalo

Abstract

Vectors or animals that carry disease in Indonesia are diseases that have been identified, especially in tropical infectious diseases, both endemic and potentially epidemic. The purpose of this study was to analyze the density of flies in the snack market of Gorontalo City. The method used in this research is descriptive quantitative. The results showed that restaurants 12,13 and 14 had a higher density level in the medium category indicating that there was a need to secure the breeding grounds for flies (garbage and rotting food residue) compared to restaurants 1-11 in the low category indicating that there was no need for control. The results of our observations to 14 restaurants have different sanitary conditions. In restaurants 1-11, the distance between the trash can and the restaurant is quite far or not close compared to restaurants 12-14 which are very close to the trash can and it was also clear at the time of the study that there were flies flying in the food storage area. Based on the results of these studies, it can be concluded that the level of fly density can be influenced by the hygiene and sanitation of the surrounding environment.
