Repellents against Aedes aegypti bites: synthetic and natural origins

Frontiers in Insect Science
Dengue fever, transmitted by mosquitoes of the Aedes genus, particularly Aedes aegypti, has emerged as a global health issue. With the expansion of this mosquito to new geographical areas, driven by factors such as climate change, the need for preventive

Field evaluation of picaridin repellents reveals differences in repellent sensitivity between Southeast Asian vectors of malaria and arboviruses.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014
Scaling up of insecticide treated nets has contributed to a substantial malaria decline. However, some malaria vectors, and most arbovirus vectors, bite outdoors and in the early evening. Therefore, topically applied insect repellents may provide crucial

Evaluation of Calpurnia aurea leaf extracts as natural insect repellents for stored product insect pests in Ethiopia

All Life, 2023
The repellency of solvent extracts of Calpurnia aurea leaves was evaluated on the maize weevils and the red flour beetles. Nine-cm Whatman number 1 filter paper that is partitioned into treatment, neutral and non-treatment portions was used for the ...

Modified mosquito landing boxes dispensing transfluthrin provide effective protection against Anopheles arabiensis mosquitoes under simulated outdoor conditions in a semi-field system [PDF]

, 2015
Efforts to control malaria vectors have primarily focused on scaling-up of long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and indoor residual spraying. Although highly efficient against indoor-biting and indoor-resting vectors, these interventions have lower ...

Effect of equine flysheets on fly avoidance behaviours, body temperature, stress level, and heart rate

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Flysheet use is common without any published scientific evidence to justify their use. Objectives To demonstrate the effectiveness of flysheets at reducing fly avoidance behaviours and measuring changes in body temperature, heart rate, and cortisol levels. Study Design Ten‐week alternating crossover design.

Biosensors for Food Safety and Adulteration Monitoring: Applications, Smart Packaging Integration, and Pathways to Intelligent, Field‐Deployable Detection Systems

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Biosensors enable rapid, sensitive, and portable detection of pathogens, contaminants, allergens, and food adulteration. Integration with smart packaging, smartphones, IoT, and machine learning supports real‐time monitoring and intelligent decision‐making, whereas microfluidics, biodegradable materials, explainable AI, and blockchain offer pathways ...

Methyl dihydrojasmonate and lilial are the constituents with an "off-label" insect repellence in perfumes.

PLoS ONE, 2018
Insect repellents are widely used to fend off nuisance mosquitoes and, more importantly, to reduce or eliminate mosquito bites in areas where viruses and other vector-borne diseases are circulating. Synthesized more than six decades ago, DEET is the most

Beyond a dual role: how Purpureocillium lilacinum reprograms citrus metabolism for integrated biocontrol and growth promotion

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Plants harbor complex microbial communities that are fundamental to their health and productivity. Among them, endophytic fungi such as Purpureocillium lilacinum establish mutualistic associations, offering dual benefits as plant growth promoters and biocontrol agents.
