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 ...

Association between N, N-diethyl-m-toluamide exposure and the odds of kidney stones in US adults: a population-based study

Frontiers in Public Health, 2023
BackgroundCurrently, there is limited research on the specific relationship between N, N-diethyl-m-toluamide (DEET) exposure and the odds of kidney stones. We aimed to investigate the relationship between DEET exposure and the prevalence of kidney stones.

Use of a Semi-field System to Evaluate the Efficacy of Topical Repellents under user Conditions Provides a Disease Exposure free Technique Comparable with Field Data. [PDF]

, 2014
Before topical repellents can be employed as interventions against arthropod bites, their efficacy must be established. Currently, laboratory or field tests, using human volunteers, are the main methods used for assessing the efficacy of topical ...

Protective Efficacy of Menthol Propylene Glycol Carbonate Compared to N, N-diethyl-Methylbenzamide Against Mosquito Bites in Northern Tanzania. [PDF]

, 2012
The reduction of malaria parasite transmission by preventing human-vector contact is critical in lowering disease transmission and its outcomes. This underscores the need for effective and long lasting arthropod/insect repellents.

Topical application of DEET for schistosomiasis [PDF]

Trends in Parasitology, 2003
N, N-diethyl-m-toluamide (also known as DEET) is a broad-spectrum insect repellent that is used extensively against both human and animal pests, worldwide. Recent studies show that topical lipid formulations of DEET, such as LipoDEET, are highly effective in killing schistosome cercariae in the skin. Minimal systemic absorption, low manufacturing cost,

Development of an observational exposure human biomonitoring study to assess Canadian children's DEET exposure during protective use.

PLoS ONE, 2022
Biomonitoring data of N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide (DEET) in children is scarce and limited to controlled exposure and surveillance studies. We conducted a 24-hour observational exposure and human biomonitoring study designed to estimate use of and ...
