Resumen
UC-PUC, Valentín et al. Effectiveness of commercial repellents against Aedes aegypti (L.) in Yucatan, México. Salud pública Méx [online]. 2016, vol.58, n.4, pp.472-475. ISSN 0036-3634. https://doi.org/10.21149/spm.v58i4.8030.
Objective:
We assessed the efficacy of commercial repellents available in Yucatan against Aedes aegypti, vector of dengue, Chikungunya and Zika.
Materials and methods:
Protection time was determined based on WHO/CTD/ WHOPES/IC y la NOM-032-SSA2-20I4.
Results:
Products with DEET (N, N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide) at 25% met the recommended protection. Efficacy was directly proportional to the concentration of DEET; botanicals repellents resulted no protective.
Conclusions:
Repellents with DEET provided more protection against Ae. aegypti and botanical repellents, including impregnated wristbands, provided no protection.
