In Vivo Effects of N,N-Diethyl-Meta-Toluamide (DEET) Exposure on Sinonasal Epithelia in a Murine Model. [PDF]

Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg
Abstract Environmental factors, including airborne toxicants, are thought to contribute to the pathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis, although the exact mechanism is not fully understood. The purpose of this pilot study is to assess the impact of pesticide, N,N‐diethyl‐meta‐toluamide (DEET), on the sinonasal epithelium using an in vivo murine model ...

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 ...

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

Behavioral insensitivity to DEET in Aedes aegypti is a genetically determined trait residing in changes in sensillum function. [PDF]

, 2010
N,N-Diethyl-m-toluamide (DEET) is one of the most effective and commonly used mosquito repellents. However, during laboratory trials a small proportion of mosquitoes are still attracted by human odors despite the presence of DEET.

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 ...

DEET occurrence in wastewaters: Seasonal, spatial and diurnal variability - mismatches between consumption data and environmental detection

Environment International, 2019
DEET (N, N-diethyl-m-toluamide) is one of the most frequently detected trace organic contaminants (TOrC) in wastewaters and is used primarily as an insect repellent. It was introduced for use in the general public in 1957.

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.

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 ...
