A spreadsheet-based method for estimating the skin disposition of volatile compounds: application to N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide (DEET).

29 Sep 2008 The disposition of N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide (DEET) applied to split-thickness human cadaver skin was measured in modified Franz cells maintained at 32 degrees C and fitted with a vapor trap. Ethanolic solutions of DEET (1% w/w) spiked with ... Read more...

Sandfly pheromones. Their biology and potential for use in control programs.

30 Aug 2008 Lutzomyia longipalpis (Diptera: Psychodidae) is the vector of Leishmania chagasi the causative agent of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in South and Central America, particularly Brazil, where the greatest incidence occurs. The disease is fatal if ... Read more...

Novel arthropod repellent, BioUD, is an efficacious alternative to deet.

30 Aug 2008 For >50 yr, N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide (deet) has been the standard for arthropod repellents and has been an important tool to protect people from disease agents carried by ticks, mosquitoes, and other arthropods. However, some people avoid ... Read more...
