SPECIES DIVERSITY AND DENSITY OF FLIES (DIPTERA) AT PADANG SELASA TRADITIONAL MARKET, PALEMBANG: A DESCRIPTIVE CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY
Main Article Content
Keywords:
flies, Musca domestica, Fly density, Traditional marketAbstract
As mechanical vectors, flies may contribute to the transmission of infectious diseases. This study aimed to describe species diversity and fly density at the Padang Selasa Traditional Market in Palembang City. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted using sweep nets to collect flies and fly grills to measure density across several market areas. Species were identified based on their morphological characteristics. A total of 399 flies representing four species were identified, with Musca domestica being the dominant species. The highest fly density was observed at the temporary waste storage area (TPS) and was classified as a high fly density category. Environmental conditions ranged from 27.7–30.2°C and 69.8–77.9% relative humidity, supporting fly activity. These findings emphasize the need to improve environmental sanitation and waste management in traditional markets to reduce fly populations and the risk of disease transmission.
ABSTRAK
Pasar tradisional merupakan lingkungan yang mendukung keberadaan lalat akibat kelimpahan bahan organik sebagai sumber makanan. Lalat dapat berperan sebagai pembawa parasit (vektor mekanik) pada bahan organik yang dihinggapinya, sehingga dapat menyebabkan penyakit pada manusia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menggambarkan keanekaragaman spesies dan kepadatan lalat di Pasar Tradisional Padang Selasa, Kota Palembang. Studi deskriptif potong lintang dilakukan dengan penangkapan lalat menggunakan sweeping net dan pengukuran kepadatan menggunakan fly grill di beberapa area pasar. Identifikasi spesies dilakukan berdasarkan morfologi. Sebanyak 399 lalat berhasil dikoleksi, didominasi oleh Musca domestica. Kepadatan tertinggi ditemukan di area penampungan sampah sementara. Kondisi lingkungan menunjukkan suhu dan kelembapan yang mendukung aktivitas lalat.
