Uji Efektivitas Allium Sativum Sebagai Pedikulisida Secara In Vitro
Pediculosis is a scalp/hair disease caused by Pediculus humanis capitis (P.h
capitis). The prevalence of P.h capitis is still considered high in developing country.
The choice of treatment for pediculosis nowdays is commercial chemical
pediculicide, but it has resistance and side effect such as neurotoxic, pruritus,
eritema and edema. The potential alternative to overcome the problems is to use
Garlic (Allium sativum). This research was experimental laboratory research that
has been done from December 2019 to August 2020 in the Laboratory of
Parasitology at Faculty of Medicine, and Faculty of Mathemathics and Science
Laboratory University of Riau. About 108 samples of adult P.h. capitis collected
from children of Al-Akbar orphanage in Pekanbaru. Allium sativum extract with
concentration of 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%, permethrin 1% as positive control and
aquades as negative control were used in this research, then repetition was done 3
times. Mortality of P.h capitis observed in each 10 minutes period until 120 minutes,
marked by the absence of movement in legs and antennae. Data analysis were
performed after 120 minutes with one-way ANOVA and post hoc test with LSD (α=
0.05). The result of one-way ANOVA in this research showed a significant
difference between concentration of Allium sativum extract and mortality of P.h
capitis (sig 0,000 < 0,05). In this research, Allium sativum extract had effect as
pediculicide and the most effective concentration was 100%.
