This finding is in
line with some previous studies that have been done in TTS. Nahak (2000)
found that the peak of malaria incidence was from June to August. Haryani
and Mortono (1991, cited in Nahak, 2000) found that July, August and October
had the highest density of An barbirostris, the main vector of
malaria in Timor Island. Gundefinger (1975, cited in Nahak, 2000) also has
given a similar pattern of malaria transmission in Besikama, Belu District
as in TTS District. Besikama is one sub district which is located on the
border of Belu and TTS District.
