Larvae free number (LFN) is a measure to evaluate the prevention of dengue
hemorrhagic fever (DHF) through environmental management. It was assumed that the
greater the LFN, the smaller the potential for transmission and vice versa. This study
aims to prove whether LFN associated with incidence of DHF. This was an observational
study using retrospective method. The study was conducted in 17 villages of 4 subdistricts
in Sleman, Yogyakarta with different levels of endemicity. Larvae free number
and the incidence of DHF from year 2009 to 2013 used as independent and dependent
variable respectively. Data of LFN and incidence of DHF obtained from District Health
Of ce. There were 1,461 DHF cases in 4 sub-districts in year 2009-2013. The average
of LFN was 80.70 (68.4-95). The relationship between the LFN and DHF were analyzed
by Pearson Correlation. This correlation test showed that the LFN was not associated
with the incidence of DHF (p = 0.312). It is concluded that the value of LFN is not
correlated with the incidence of DHF in Sleman, Yogyakarta.
