Abstract
Laboratory tests were conducted to study the response of Anopheles dir us and Aedes albopictus to repellent formulations containing diethyl m ethylbenzamide (deet) and dimethyl phthalate. Anopheles dirus was tole rant of low concentrations of deet (5-20%), and formulations containin g less than or equal to 35% deet provided protection for less than or equal to 90 min. In contrast, Ae. albopictus was sensitive to these fo rmulations, which provided greater than or equal to 180 min protection from bites.
