THE EFFECT OF AMBIENT HUMIDITY ON THE REPELLENCY OF ETHYLHEXANEDIOL (‘6-12’) TO AEDES AEGYPTI
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 May 2012
Abstract
Laboratory olfactometer experiments made at constant ambient temperature (29°C) demonstrated that the protection afforded mammalian hosts by 2-ethyl hexanediol-1,3 (’6–12’) against Aedes aegypti L. was greater at high (82%) than at low (35%) ambient relative humidity. The physical and physiological implications are discussed.
