Abstract
Twenty-two experimental and commercial repellents were evaluated on white mice against the oriental rat flea, Xenopsylla cheopis. At the 95% protection level, diethyl toluamide (deet) was superior to 9 other commercial repellents. Three experimental repellents, USDA AI3-36326, USDA AI3-35765, and SRI 835-19C, were more effective than 9 other experimental repellents and diethyl toluamide.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
