National Pesticide Information Center - Repellent Information

Hello E-Readers,

I wanted to follow up on the message related to Dr. M. Fradin's publication,
Mosquitoes and Mosquito Repellents: A Clinician's Guide. Annals of Internal
Medicine, 1 June, 128:931-940.

http://www.acponline.org/journals/annals/01jun98/mosquito.htm

An additional 2002 publication by Dr. Fradin might be useful to some of the
readers of this listserv. Visit the National Pesticide Information Center at
npic.orst.edu and select our West Nile Virus Resource Guide link in the center
of the homepage (npic.orst.edu/wnv). Select Pesticides and Toxicology, then
on the right, select Pesticide Active Ingredients. Scroll to see the mosquito
control pesticides categorized as larvicides, adulticides, synergists,or
repellents. The first link under repellents will take you to Dr. Fradin's most
recent publication:

Comparative Efficacy of Insect Repellents against Mosquito Bites. New England
Journal of Medicine, 4 July 2002. 347(1):13-18.

The direct link to the information is located at:

  This appears to be a good review article on mosquitoes and the various
  repellants.

  Mosquitoes and Mosquito Repellants: a Clinicians Guide. By Mark S.
  Fradin, MD. 1 June, 1998. Annals of Internal Medicine. Volume
  128:pp931-940.

  Available at:
  http://www.acponline.org/journals/annals/01jun98/mosquito.htm

  The article has a good overview of how mosquitoes are attracted, thei
  biology, and a reveiw of not onlyh repellants but also the ultrasonic
  devices, bug zappers, and bat houses. And "relief from mosquito bits" plus
  122 references, most from peer reviewed journals.
