Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes exhibit takeoff responses when presented to commercial permethrin headspace. This product elicits electrophysiological activity in the antennae and tarsi. However, only the chemical information acquired from the tarsi plays a major role in the observed behavioral response.

DEET feet: Aedes aegypti mosquitoes use their tarsi to sense DEET on contact [PDF]
, 2018 Summary DEET ( N , N -diethyl- meta -toluamide) is the most effective and broadly used insect repellent, but its mechanism of action is both complex and controversial [1].

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.We identified four kinds of target molecules against (‐)‐α‐thujone associating avoidance behavior in Tribolium castaneum, indicating multimodality. Abstract BACKGROUND The reciprocal evolutionary processes among phytophagous insects and host plants involve host shift in the herbivorous insects in response to defense chemicals, such as plant‐derived ...

Who’s afraid of DEET? Fearmongering in papers on botanical repellents
Malaria Journal, 2020 DEET (N,N-Diethyl-meta-toluamide) is considered the gold standard in mosquito repellents, not only for its effectiveness, but also for its safety. DEET has been more extensively studied for safety than any other repellent, and is accepted as completely ...

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Hydroxypropyl‐β‐cyclodextrin (HPβCD)–N,N‐diethyl‐meta‐toluamide (DEET) complex extended tick repellency to 168 h. Full protection against Aedes aegypti for 7 h with HPβCD‐DEET. HPβCD reduced DEET release and skin retention significantly. No embryotoxicity observed below 325 mg L−1 in zebrafish model.

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.Aedes aegypti females were significantly repelled by both volatile DEET and citronella oil in comparison to control (ethanol‐exposed) mosquitoes. Global gene expression changes were largest in the mosquito mouthparts, with notable downregulation of the three subunits comprising the mosquito CO2 receptor (Gr1, 2 and 3).

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.This study evaluated the photodegradation of commercial insect repellents containing DEET and IR‐3535 under UV‐A and UV‐B irradiation using Raman spectroscopy. Pure DEET and IR‐3535 showed intrinsic photostability, whereas DEET diluted in ethanol and a commercial DEET‐based formulation exhibited significant spectral changes after UV exposure.

What is a Multi‐Ethnic Party and How to Spot a Fake One?
Swiss Political Science Review, EarlyView.Abstract Multi‐ethnic parties have been variously defined: as those which do not champion the interests of, or mobilize against, any specific ethnic group; as those with a recognisably cross‐communal leadership or membership; and as those which acquire some distribution of support across groups.

N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide (DEET) exposure produces rapid and permanent damage in turfgrass
Ecotoxicology and Environmental SafetyDespite anecdotal evidence that suggests bug sprays containing N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide (DEET) damage turfgrasses, there is minimal peer-reviewed research investigating this in detail.
