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 ...

Modulation of the behavioral and electrical responses to the repellent DEET elicited by the pre-exposure to the same compound in Blattella germanica [PDF]

PeerJ, 2016
Insects under different stimuli from the environment modify behavioural responses due to changes in the sensitivity of neurons at the peripheral and/or at the central level of the nervous system. This phenomenon is called neuronal plasticity, and sensory

The Repellent DEET Potentiates Carbamate Effects via Insect Muscarinic Receptor Interactions: An Alternative Strategy to Control Insect Vector-Borne Diseases. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Insect vector-borne diseases remain one of the principal causes of human mortality. In addition to conventional measures of insect control, repellents continue to be the mainstay for personal protection.

Effect of the combination of DEET and flupyradifurone on the tick Ixodes ricinus: Repellency bioassay and pharmacological characterization using microtransplantation of synganglion membranes

Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases, 2023
Ticks are vectors of many human and animal pathogens, and represent a major threat to public health. In recent years, an increase in tick-borne diseases has been observed, and new strategies are therefore needed in order to control tick numbers and ...

Effect of DEET-multiple exposures on behavior and life history traits in the malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae (s.s.)

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Background Vector-borne diseases are major public health concerns, and their control is threatened by the spread of insecticide resistance in vector populations.

Determination of skin-insect repellent icaridin and DEET in human urine using solid-phase extraction and liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry and its application to a sample of Japanese adults

Environmental Health and Preventive Medicine
Background: Icaridin and DEET are common insect repellents widely used on human skin and clothing (skin-insect repellents [skin-IR]) to repel common pests, such as mosquitoes and biting flies.

Enhancing Virtual Inertia Control in Microgrid Clusters: A Novel Frequency Response Model Based on Deep Reinforcement Learning

Applied Sciences
Traditional control strategies, such as droop-frequency and PI controllers, often show limited adaptability when the system operates under highly variable renewable generation and load conditions. In order to overcome this limitation, this study proposes

Evidence for inhibition of cholinesterases in insect and mammalian nervous systems by the insect repellent deet

BMC Biology, 2009
Background N,N-Diethyl-3-methylbenzamide (deet) remains the gold standard for insect repellents. About 200 million people use it every year and over 8 billion doses have been applied over the past 50 years.
