An effective mosquito-repellent topical product from liquid crystal-based tea tree oil
(2019-02-01)
Diseases such as dengue, malaria, yellow fever and others transmitted by culicides determine high rates of morbidity and mortality, especially in tropical countries. An alternative to avoid bites is the use of repellents. ...
Zein Nanoparticles as Eco-Friendly Carrier Systems for Botanical Repellents Aiming Sustainable Agriculture
(2018-02-14)
Botanical repellents represent one of the main ways of reducing the use of synthetic pesticides and the contamination of soil and hydric resources. However, the poor stability and rapid degradation of these compounds in ...
Zein Nanoparticles as Eco-Friendly Carrier Systems for Botanical Repellents Aiming Sustainable Agriculture
(Amer Chemical Soc, 2018-02-14)
Botanical repellents represent one of the main ways of reducing the use of synthetic pesticides and the contamination of soil and hydric resources. However, the poor stability and rapid degradation of these compounds in ...
Hausdorff dimension for non-hyperbolic repellers II: Da diffeomorphisms
(2005-12-01)
We study non-hyperbolic repellers of diffeomorphisms derived from transitive Anosov diffeomorphisms with unstable dimension 2 through a Hopf bifurcation. Using some recent abstract results about non-uniformly expanding ...
Hausdorff dimension of non-hyperbolic repellers. I: Maps with holes
(Kluwer Academic/plenum Publ, 2001-12-01)
This is the first paper in a two-part series devoted to studying the Hausdorff dimension of invariant sets of non-uniformly hyperbolic, non-conformal maps. Here we consider a general abstract model, that we call piecewise ...
Use of repellents for honeybees (Apis mellifera L.) in vitro in the yellow passion-fruit (Passiflora edulis Deg) crop and in confined beef cattle feeders
(Universidade Estadual Paulista (Unesp), Centro de Estudos de Venenos e Animais Peçonhentos (CEVAP), 2004-01-01)
The presence of Apis mellifera in places such as candy and soft drink factories, restaurants, and ice-cream shops has been a concern to many people. In the yellow passion-fruit crop, Apis mellifera is able to collect all ...
Novel bioadhesive polycarbophil-based liquid crystal systems containing Melaleuca alternifolia oil as potential repellents against Aedes aegypti
(2020-09-15)
Dengue, chikungunya, zika, and urban yellow fever are diseases which etiologic agents are transmitted by the bite of Aedes aegypti female mosquitoes, being responsible for serious public health problems. Essential oils, ...
Rhodnius prolixus smells repellents: Behavioural evidence and test of present and potential compounds inducing repellency in Chagas disease vectors
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2015-10)
Insect repellents are known since many decades ago and constitute a major tool for personal protection against the biting of mosquitoes. Despite their wide use, the understanding of why and how repellents repel is relatively ...
Application of microencapsulated biopesticides to improve repellent finishing of cotton fabrics
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2017-08)
Insect repellent textiles are currently being investigated as a complementary tool to control disease vectors, such as mosquitoes. The application of microencapsulated biopesticides to textiles is a promising low-toxicity ...
