Mosquitoes spread many vector-borne diseases that pose risks to human health. Different repellents have been formulated to prevent host and vector interactions. In this experiment, Victoria's Secret Bombshell perfume was evaluated as a repellent of Aedes aegypti ( Linnaeus) (Diptera: Culicidae) by comparing it to DEET (N, N-Diethyl-meta-toluamide). The mean number of bites on arms wearing DEET, perfume, and nothing was determined and compared with one another. DEET was observed to prevent the most Aedes aegypti bites whereas the perfume did not prevent as many but did prevent more than the arms with nothing on. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
