PY - 2007 DA - 2007/08/01 TI - A low-cost repellent for malaria vectors in the Americas: results of two field trials in Guatemala and Peru JO - Malaria Journal SP - 101 VL - 6 IS - 1 AB - The cost of mosquito repellents in Latin America has discouraged their wider use among the poor. To address this problem, a low-cost repellent was developed that reduces the level of expensive repellent actives by combining them with inexpensive fixatives that appear to slow repellent evaporation. The chosen actives were a mixture of para-menthane-diol (PMD) and lemongrass oil (LG). SN - 1475-2875 UR - https://doi.org/10.1186/1475-2875-6-101 DO - 10.1186/1475-2875-6-101 ID - Moore2007 ER -
