Abstract
Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) has always been a serious problem in various regions in Indonesia. This disease is transmitted by the mosquito vector (A. aegypti). An effort to overcome DHF is to control vectors using larvacide. However, several studies have shown the vulnerability of mosquito larvae to chemical larvicide (temephos). Therefore, it is necessary to have natural larvicide that are safe, inexpensive, and effective. One of Kalimantan's biodiversity which has the potential as larvacide is Kalakai (Stenochlaena palustris (burm.f.) Bedd.). The method in this study was a phytochemical screening method to detect the content of secondary metabolites such as alkaloids, flavonoids, steroids/terpenoids, saponins, and tannins. The results of phytochemical screening the ethanolic extract of Kelakai leaves showed that it contained flavonoids, tannins, and alkaloid. Whereas for alkaloid and triterpenoid compounds not found in it. Based on reference studies, it is known that positive contain of Kalakai ethanol extract has the potential as larvicide.
