First report of the repellency of 2-tridecanone against ticks
MEDICAL AND VETERINARY ENTOMOLOGY, 25(2), 202–208.
author keywords: Arthropod; BioUD (R); repellent; tick; 2-tridecanone; 2-undecanone
MeSH headings : Animals; Dermacentor / drug effects; Dermacentor / physiology; Insect Control / methods; Insect Repellents / pharmacology; Ixodidae / drug effects; Ixodidae / physiology; Ketones / pharmacology; North Carolina
topics (OpenAlex): Insect Pest Control Strategies; Insect and Pesticide Research; Insect-Plant Interactions and Control
TL;DR:
2‐Tridecanone and 2‐undecanone are both found naturally in the trichomes of wild tomato plants and are important in plant resistance to herbivory, demonstrating its potential use as an arthropod repellent that can be used on clothing without the need for formulation.

Novel field assays and the comparative repellency of BioUD (R), DEET and permethrin against Amblyomma americanum
MEDICAL AND VETERINARY ENTOMOLOGY, 25(2), 217–226.
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
topics (OpenAlex): Insect Pest Control Strategies; Mosquito-borne diseases and control; Date Palm Research Studies
TL;DR:
Two new field bioassay methods were developed to compare the repellent activity of BioUD® (containing 7.75% 2‐undecanone), 98.1% DEET and 0.5% permethrin against natural populations of nymphal Amblyomma americanum (L.) and it is suggested that repellency is at least partly achieved by an olfactory mechanism.
