Locomotor behaviour of Blattella germanica modified by DEET. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide (DEET) is the active principle of most insect repellents used worldwide. However, its toxicity on insects has not been widely studied.

DEET as a feeding deterrent. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
The insect repellent N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide (DEET), is a multimodal compound that acts as a spatial repellent as well as an irritant (contact repellent), thus being perceived by the insect's olfactory and gustatory systems as an odorant and a ...

Mosquitoes smell and avoid the insect repellent DEET [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2008
The insect repellent DEET is effective against a variety of medically important pests, but its mode of action still draws considerable debate. The widely accepted hypothesis that DEET interferes with the detection of lactic acid has been challenged by demonstrated DEET-induced repellency in the absence of lactic acid.

Adaptation of the repellency response to DEET in Rhodnius prolixus

Journal of Insect Physiology, 2011
For many years it has been accepted that DEET interferes with the detection of odours from the host instead of having a repellent effect. However, recent work showed that DEET acts as an odorant molecule and elicits a behavioural response in the absence of other stimuli.

Controlled release of DEET and Picaridin mosquito repellents from microcapsules prepared by complex coacervation using gum Arabic and chitosan [PDF]

Pharmaceutical Sciences Asia, 2022
Microcapsules (MCs) of mosquito repellents (DEET and Picaridin) were prepared by complex coacervation using gum Arabic and chitosan as wall materials. The resulting diameters of MCs were 2.35±0.76 µm for DEET and 4.26±1.77 µm for Picaridin, analyzed by ...

Utilisation of repellents for the control of Western corn rootworm (Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte, 1868) [PDF]

Journal of Central European Agriculture, 2021
The aim of the study was to find the level of repellent effect of two chemical substances (DEET and 2-Undecanone) and two essential oils (from Allium sativum and Eucalyptus oil) on the Western corn rootworm (WCR), Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte ...

N,N-Diethyl-3-toluamide Formulation Based on Ethanol Containing 0.1% 2-Hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin Attenuates the Drug’s Skin Penetration and Prolongs the Repellent Effect without Stickiness

Molecules, 2022
N,N-diethyl-3-toluamide (DEET) is one of the most widely used insect repellents in the world. It was reported that a solution containing 6–30% cyclodextrin (CD) as a solvent instead of ethanol (EtOH) provided an enhancement of the repellent action time ...
