First report of the repellency of 2-tridecanone against ticks

MEDICAL AND VETERINARY ENTOMOLOGY, 25(2), 202–208.

By: N. Kimps n, B. Bissinger n, C. Apperson n, D. Sonenshine* & R. Roe n

author keywords: Arthropod; BioUD (R); repellent; tick; 2-tridecanone; 2-undecanone

MEDICAL AND VETERINARY ENTOMOLOGY, 25(2), 217–226.

By: B. Bissinger n, C. Apperson n, D. Watson n, C. Arellano n, D. Sonenshine* & R. Roe n

author keywords: Arthropod repellent; BioUD (R); DEET; olfactometer; permethrin; spatial repellency; ticks; undecanone
MeSH headings : Animals; DEET; Female; Humans; Insect Repellents; Ixodidae / drug effects; Ketones; Male; Nymph; Permethrin; Pest Control / instrumentation; Pest Control / methods
