SPATIAL REPELLENT EFFECT OF DIMEFLUTHRIN AGAINST AEDES ALBOPICTUS
Journal Title: Acta Parasitologica et Medica Entomologica Sinica - Year 2024, Vol 31, Issue 3
Abstract
[Objective] Observation of the response of Aedes albopictus to DEET and Dimefluthrin in the Three-Part Tube to evaluate the effectiveness of spatial repellency of dimefluthrin. [Methods] Referenced to the structure and principle of the HITTS device, the Three-Part Tube were designed to observe the behaviors and response of Ae. albopictus to dimefluthrin and deet in the Three-Part Tube. [Results] Aedes albopictus showed no repellent response in the blank condition of the Three-Part Tube (P>0.05). When tested with DEET in the Three-Part Tube, Aedes albopictus showed repellent effects at 1.0% to 50.0% (P<0.05). For dimefluthrin, repellency was observed at concentrations ranging from 0.0035% to 0.0050% (P < 0.05). The repellent effect of 0.0050% dimefluthrin was comparable to that of 20% DEET, with no statistically significant difference (P > 0.999). [Conclusions] Dimefluthrin at concentrations ranging from 0.0035% to 0.0050% had good spatial repellency against Ae. albopictus.
