Controlled Release Repellent Formulations on Human Volunteers Under ThreeClimatic Regimens

摘要

Two controlled-release repellant formulations containing 33% (3M) and 42(Biotek) deet and an Army repellant containing 75% deet were evaluated in 3 different climatic regimens (tropical forested, tropical open, and basic hot environments). A long-lasting repellant formulation along with a clothing impregnant, permethrin are the 2 parts of a protection system currently being developed to protect soldiers from blood-sucking arthropods around the world. This protection system provides greater protection than either the tropical repellant or permethrin-treated clothing separately. Lillie et al. (1988) and Sholdt et al. (1988) also observed a similar trend in protection from mosquito bites when they evaluated the protection system in field studies.
