FIELD EVALUATION OF PICARIDIN REPELLENTS REVEALS DIFFERENCES IN REPELLENT SENSITIVITY BETWEEN SOUTHEAST ASIAN VECTORS OF MALARIA AND ARBOVIRUSES.

Field evaluation of picaridin repellents reveals differences in repellent sensitivity between Southeast Asian vectors of malaria and arboviruses.

Scaling up of insecticide treated nets has contributed to a substantial malaria decline.However, some malaria vectors, and most arbovirus vectors, bite outdoors and in the early evening.Therefore, topically applied insect repellents may provide crucial additional protection against mosquito-borne pathogens.Among topical repellents, DEET is the most

Flammability analysis of military fabrics

There are many types of fabric materials used in military applications.From clothing to protective equipment, fabric analysis mostly focused on its physical properties.Still, its flammability has not been well studied, such as ease of ignition, heat release, and toxicity.This paper reports the flammability properties of fabric in military applicati
