Insect Repellents and Mosquito Bites Comparative Efficacy of Insect Repellents against Mosquito Bites
Background. The worldwide threat of arthropod transmitted diseased, with their associated morbidity and mortality, underscores the need for effective insect repellents. Multiple chemical, botanical, and “alternative” repellent products are marketed to consumers. We sought to determine which products available in the United States provide reliable and prolonged complete protection from mosquito ...
متن کاملAcoustic communication in insect disease vectors
Acoustic signalling has been extensively studied in insect species, which has led to a better understanding of sexual communication, sexual selection and modes of speciation. The significance of acoustic signals for a blood-sucking insect was first reported in the XIX century by Christopher Johnston, studying the hearing organs of mosquitoes, but has received relatively little attention in othe...

متن کاملInsect Biotechnology: Controllable Replacement of Disease Vectors
To fight human vector-borne diseases, first releases of sterile transgenic mosquitoes have been performed. Someday, disease-refractory mosquitoes will replace wild types to stop transmission. For such population replacements, gene drive mechanisms must be established that allow local confinement and reversibility.
متن کاملCircadian rhythms in insect disease vectors
Organisms from bacteria to humans have evolved under predictable daily environmental cycles owing to the Earth's rotation. This strong selection pressure has generated endogenous circadian clocks that regulate many aspects of behaviour, physiology and metabolism, anticipating and synchronising internal time-keeping to changes in the cyclical environment. In haematophagous insect vectors the cir...
