Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) has been modeled as an epidemic model by looking at the interaction between humans and mosquitoes. The Aedes Aegypti mosquito is the primary vector of DHF. Its life is influenced by climatic factors, including temperature, humidity, rainfall, and rainy days. In this study, a model for the spread of DHF will be formed by paying attention to climatic factors, namely temperature. Previous studies have shown that temperature affects mosquito populations and the frequency of mosquito bites against humans. This model will modify the mosquito population growth rate and the frequency of bites, which are usually considered constant, to be a temperature function. Using the temperature data of Semarang, we simulate to evaluate the temperature influence on the dynamic of DHF. The analysis result giving the temperature domain for the equilibrium existences, and the simulation result show that temperature affects the time it takes to converge to the equilibrium point. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
