title: Evaluation of efficacy and duration of the stick camouflage face paint with 30% deet against mosquitoes in Belize.
abstract: A combination of insect repellent, N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide (deet), with camouflage face paint in a newly designed stick formulation was evaluated on human volunteers under field conditions in Belize during February 2007. The formulation provided over 90% protection against mosquitoes for 8 hours and at least 80% protection for 12 hours, with 100% protection for 2 to 4 hours after application.
