Natural DEET substitutes that are strong olfactory repellents of mosquitoes and flies

2016-06-22

Abstract excerpt

<h4>SUMMARY</h4> Despite shortcomings, N,N-Diethyl-3-methylbenzamide (DEET) has remained the gold-standard of insect repellents for >60 years. There are significant impediments to finding improved substitutes because the molecular targets causing repellency are unclear, new chemistries will require significant human-safety testing, and predicted costs for development are exorbitant. Here we identify shared struct...
