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.

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,

Avoiding DEET through Insect Gustatory Receptors [PDF]
Neuron, 2010 DEET is the most widely used insect repellent worldwide. In Drosophila olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs), DEET is detected through a mechanism employing the olfactory receptor, OR83b. However, it is controversial as to whether ORNs respond directly to DEET or whether DEET blocks the response to attractive odors.

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

Determination of IR3535 in Topical Insect Repellents: A New HPLC-DAD Analytical Approach and Compliance Assessment. [PDF]
Biomed ChromatogrABSTRACT IR3535 is a synthetic active ingredient widely recognized for its efficacy in topical insect repellent formulations. Among commonly used repellent actives, it is distinguished by its favorable toxicological profile, making it suitable for use in children from 6 months of age.

The full repertoire of Drosophila gustatory receptors for detecting an aversive compound. [PDF]
, 2015 The ability to detect toxic compounds in foods is essential for animal survival. However, the minimal subunit composition of gustatory receptors required for sensing aversive chemicals in Drosophila is unknown.
