[Effectiveness of commercial repellents against Aedes aegypti (L.) in Yucatan, México].
OBJECTIVE
We assessed the efficacy of commercial repellents available in Yucatan against Aedes aegypti, vector of dengue, Chikungunya and Zika.


METHODS
Protection time was determined based on WHO/CTD/ WHOPES/IC y la NOM-032-SSA2-20I4.


RESULTS
Products with DEET (N, N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide) at 25% met the recommended protection. Efficacy was directly proportional to the concentration of DEET; botanicals repellents resulted no protective.


CONCLUSIONS
Repellents with DEET provided more protection against Ae. aegypti and botanical repellents, including impregnated wristbands, provided no protection.
