Abstract
The insect repellent N, N-diethylphenylacetamide (DEPA) was compared w ith two commercial repellents, N, N-diethyl-m-toluamide (DEET) and dim ethyl phthalate (DMP), for protection against 3-day-old unfed females of the sandfly Phlebotomus papatasi (Scopoli) under laboratory conditi ons, using host rabbits. Both DEPA and DEET were found to be more effe ctive than DMP, but there was no significant difference between the ef ficacy of DEPA and DEET.
