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.

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 ...

Repellent properties of various essential oils and synthetic and natural products against Culicoides nubeculosus and C. obsoletus (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae), vectors of Orbivirus [PDF]
, 2012 Control of animal arbovirus transmission by Culicoides biting midges vectors is almost exclusively performed using pour-on pyrethroid insecticides on ruminants. Alternative strategies to synthetic insecticides, such as repellent essential oils, should be

DEET feet: Aedes aegypti mosquitoes use their tarsi to sense DEET on contact [PDF]
, 2018 SummaryDEET (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]. Previous work demonstrated that DEET acts both on insect smell [2-6] and taste [7-11] systems.
