Role of repellents in vector control and disease prevention
Raj K. Gupta,L. C. Rutledge +1 more
TL;DR: A coordinated effort among different research groups associated with advances in the science of insect repellent such as mode of action information, doses of repellents to generate threshold level responses and controlled release delivery mechanisms, may help in understanding the mechanisms by which repellented work.
Journal ArticleDOI
Production of phlebotomine sandflies on the open forest floor in Panama: the species complement
L. C. Rutledge,D. A. Ellenwood +1 more
TL;DR: It was concluded that the availability of vector sandflies is probably not the primary limiting factor in the distribution of leishmaniasis in forested areas of Panama.
Journal ArticleDOI
Laboratory observations on mating and leklike aggregations in Lutzomyia longipalpis (Diptera: Psychodidae).
TL;DR: The mating behavior of the sand fly, Lutzomyia longipalpis, was studied under laboratory conditions, and male sand flies landed on the bodies of anesthetized mice, where they exhibited leklike displays such as wing fanning, parading, and aggression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Production of Phlebotomine Sandflies on the Open Forest Floor in Panama: Phytologic and Edaphic Relations
L. C. Rutledge,D. A. Ellenwood +1 more
TL;DR: Breeding populations of phlebotomine sandflies on the floor of a rain forest in Panama were studied with soil emergence traps and no effects of physiographic aspect or of non-destructive inundation on breeding populations of sandflies were detected.
Journal Article
Effect of skin abrasions on the efficacy of the repellent deet against Aedes aegypti.
TL;DR: An increase in the number of skin abrasions by clothing resulted in a reduced duration of protection against mosquito bites, and repellent-treated skin appeared stickier than the untreated skin.
