Field evaluation of the repellents deet, CIC-4, and AI3-37220 against Anopheles in Lae, Papua New Guinea.
The repellents diethylmethylbenzamide (deet), (2-hydroxymethylcyclohexyl) acetic acid lactone (CIC-4), and 1-(3-cyclohexen-1-yl-carbonyl)-2-methylpiperidine (AI3-37220) were compared for their effectiveness in protecting 5 soldiers against the bites of Anopheles spp. at a village in Papua New Guinea. All 3 repellents, applied as 25% ethanol concentrations, provided > or = 95% protection against primarily An. farauti 4 for at least 3 h after application.
