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 ...

Use and Application of DEET Repellent
EDIS, 2011 This document discusses the use and application of insect repellents, focusing on DEET and its alternatives. DEET has been effective for over 45 years but has potential adverse effects.

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

Microencapsulation of DEET in Solid Lipid Microparticles: production, characterization and safety evaluation [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2022 DEET is considered the gold standard for insect repellent products. However, it behaves as a strong skin permeant. DEET was encapsulated in Solid Lipid Microparticles (SLM) and characterized in terms of morphology, particle size, cytotoxicity and ex vivo

Aedes aegypti mosquitoes exhibit decreased repellency by DEET following previous exposure. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 DEET (N,N-Diethyl-m-toluamide) is one of the most widely used mosquito repellents. Although DEET has been shown to be extremely effective, recent studies have revealed that certain individual insects are unaffected by its presence.

DEET repels ORNery mosquitoes [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2008 DEET ([N-N]-diethyl-m-toluamide) is widely used around the world as a repellent for mosquitoes and other biting insects. It was originally identified by a structure–activity study using synthetic compounds (1). Recently, a number of new compounds with similar activity [e.g., picaridine (2)] have been identified, but DEET remains the gold standard ...
