Aedes sp. are vectors of the dengue virus that causes Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever (DHF). The purposed of this study to analyze habitat characteristics of Aedes sp. based on the entomological index and measure the density and species of larvae Aedes sp. The research was analytic observational with a cross-sectional study was conducted 3 subdistricts of endemic in Bandar Lampung. The results showed that from 3 locations, namely Sukarame, Kemiling and Tanjung Seneng, the House Index (HI) values were 41, 38, 31, respectively. The Container Index (CI) values were 14, 12, 10 respectively and the Breteau index (BI) values were 105, 77, 60 respectively. The result of density figure (DF) were 5-6 which means the density of Aedes sp. were moderate to high. The result of identification of larvae were 3 species of mosquito were Aedes aegypti, Aedes albopictus and Culex quinquefasciatus. The dominant spesies of larvae were found are Ae. aegypti . The characteristics of larvae habitat as a risk factor for increasing the density of mosquito in Bandar Lampung are buckets or container made of plastic or cement and dispenser, light colour, direct light exposure, 1-20 liters water volume, no cover container, no drainage, and no fish rearing.
