Abstract
Mosquitoes are one of the vectors that can spread the disease to humans through the bite. The number of types of mosquitoes that have been reported in Indonesia is estimated to be more than 457 types of mosquitoes 18 clans. These types are dominated by the Aedes sp, Anopheles sp, and Culex sp which reaches 287 species. The existence of vectors in the Penbung Village also determines the health of the public in the Penbung Village, especially those with diseases transmitted by mosquito vectors. The purpose of this study was to identify the type of mosquito larvae as a vector of the disease captured in the environmental village of Gunung Sari Lombok West. The research method is descriptive research. This research was conducted by identifying the type of mosquito larvae in each habitat and measuring the characteristics of the habitat from the mosquito larvae. Based on the results of this study, mosquito larvae were found from the genus Culex sp, Aedes sp, and Anopheles sp. Culex sp larvae are found in puddles, sewers, rice fields, and rivers with habitat characteristics namely water pH 7-8, salinity 0.2-0.3 ppm, water conditions that are cloudy and clear, water temperature 25-26?C and A depth of 8-20 cm. Larvae Aedes sp is found in puddles and rivers with habitat characteristics namely water pH 7-8, salinity 0.2-0.3 ppm, clear water condition, temperature 27?C, and a depth of 8-20 cm. Anopheles sp larvae are found only in the fields with habitat characteristics namely water pH 7, 0.2 ppm salinity, cloudy water conditions, temperature 26 ?C, and 4 cm depth.
