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 ...

The mysterious multi-modal repellency of DEET [PDF]

Fly, 2015
DEET is the most effective insect repellent available and has been widely used for more than half a century. Here, I review what is known about the olfactory and contact mechanisms of DEET repellency.

Development of a Novel Aedes aegypti Repellent: An Integrated Approach Combining In Silico and Bioassays. [PDF]

Chem Biodivers
OBP1 plays an essential role in the behavior response of Aedes aegypti. The computational approaches employed herein suggest a compound with repellency activity in the ZINC database, which was confirmed by bioassays. ABSTRACT Aedes aegypti is the most important vector of arboviruses, which are responsible for 3.9 billion cases worldwide.

AgamOBP1-Directed Discovery of Repellents to Control the Spread of Mosquito-Borne Diseases. [PDF]

ChemMedChem
Toward the discovery of novel mosquito repellents, a library of potential binders of AgamOBP1 (secondary amines) generated from two amines and seven aldehydes was designed aiming to enable interactions with critical amino acids at the DEET‐site and to bridge the DEET‐ and Icaridin sIC‐binding pockets. 1H STD NMR spectroscopy in the presence of AgamOBP1

Synergistic Cytotoxicity of Permethrin and <i>N</i>,<i>N</i>-Diethyl-Meta-Toluamide on Sinonasal Epithelial Cells. [PDF]

OTO Open
Abstract N,N‐Diethyl‐meta‐toluamide (DEET) and permethrin are pesticides commonly used in combination due to their synergistic insecticidal and repellent properties. This study investigates whether simultaneous exposure to these compounds elicits synergistic cytotoxicity in sinonasal epithelial cells (SNECs).

Do topical repellents divert mosquitoes within a community? Health equity implications of topical repellents as a mosquito bite prevention tool. [PDF]

, 2013
OBJECTIVES: Repellents do not kill mosquitoes--they simply reduce human-vector contact. Thus it is possible that individuals who do not use repellents but dwell close to repellent users experience more bites than otherwise.

Neurotoxicity and mode of action of N, N-diethyl-meta-toluamide (DEET). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Recent studies suggest that N, N-diethyl-meta-toluamide (DEET) is an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor and that this action may result in neurotoxicity and pose a risk to humans from its use as an insect repellent. We investigated the mode of action of DEET

Effect of interventions to reduce malaria incidence among military personnel on active duty: study protocol for a cluster randomised controlled trial of the impact of etofenprox-treated uniforms, permethrin-treated uniforms and DEET insect repellent

Trials, 2021
Background While there is strong evidence that bite protection methods such as permethrin-treated clothing and topical insect repellents are protective against insect bites, there are few studies assessing the impact on malaria infection. This study will
