The genus Anopheles, sp. Is a mosquito transmitting several diseases, mainly malaria. In Papua province, three species of Anopheles, sp, were found to act as malaria vectors, namely: Anopheles farauti, Anopheles koliensis, and Anopheles punctulatus (Elyazar, et al, 2013). The purpose of this study was to determine the density of Anopheles, sp in the working area of the City of Jayapura Hamadi Health Center in 2015. The samples in this study were 429 people with malaria homes. Based on the results of the study, catching mosquitoes in 429 samples in 3 districts and 2 villages, the density of Anopheles sp mosquitoes perched on the wall was 720 individuals with a density (KN) of 1.67 tails/person/hour. The results of mosquitoes and mosquitoes were identified at 429 samples of capture location houses consisting of 3 Districts and 2 Villages, the most common type of mosquito was obtained from the genus Anopheles sp, which was 2452 of 3140 mosquitoes caught and identified. For Culex sp mosquitoes, there are 640 tails from 3140 tails and Aedes sp mosquitoes which are 68 tails. Based on the results of the study it was found that the incidence of malaria in the work area of Hamadi Community Health Center was 9.19%, meaning that there were 9.19% of malaria sufferers among 100 residents in the Hamadi Community Health Center working area said the incidence of malaria was high. The conclusion is that the density of Anopheles sp and malaria cases in communities in the Hamadi Community Health Center density of Anopheles sp mosquitoes with the feed of MHD bodies in the working area of Hamadi Health Center is 0.275 individuals/person/hour. Suggestions that can be given are in preventing the occurrence of malaria, the community will maintain and maintain habits and pay attention to the conditions/conditions around the yard, if they get sick, immediately go to the doctor or community health service center for treatment so that they know the symptoms illness, sleeping at night must use mosquito nets or mosquito repellent and install wire netting on house ventilation, to prevent entry of mosquitoes into the house.
