FIELD EVALUATION OF PICARIDIN REPELLENTS REVEALS DIFFERENCES IN REPELLENT SENSITIVITY BETWEEN SOUTHEAST ASIAN VECTORS OF MALARIA AND ARBOVIRUSES.

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

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 additional protection against mosquito-borne pathogens.Among topical repellents, DEET is the most
