Insect Repellents: Principles, Methods, and Uses
10/25/2006
Summarizes the variety and effectiveness of current synthetic and natural repellents Includes a thorough review of recent research on newly emerging formulations Discusses natural repellents including those of plant, animal, and human origin Examines the safety and efficacy of repellents containing deet and the other major active ingredients in current products Introduces a 3D pharmacophore model for discovering new repellents Summarizes world-wide systems for regulation of repellent products Provides new insights on formulation and mode of action of repellent products Points the way for major advancements in development and marketing
Drawing together information previously found only in articles, reviews, symposia proceedings, commercial literature, and medical entomology texts,Insect Repellents: Principles, Methods, and Usesis a one-volume source on the development, evaluation, and use of repellents. It provides a thoughtful analysis of old and new information, from the ancient history of people抯 attempts to avoid bites, through the use of synthetic and botanical products, to pioneering techniques for development of repellent products. After reading this book, you will be able to perform. the next step in research, thoroughly evaluate data on repellents, and choose the best products for any situation.
The editors introduce and define the word 損hagomone?to fill the gap created by the many different meanings attributed to the word 搑epellent.?They present the history of repellent production that has led to the formulations currently in use and discuss the biological variety of phagomones as they function in nature. The book then delineates the methods used to assess the activity of phagomones and repellent products.
A special feature of the book is its coverage of what many consider the cutting-edge in repellent testing: automated tests of the arthropods?responses, the use of computer models of chemistry, and the use of molecular biology methods. The book comprehensively compares active ingredients and includes an index of illustrated chemical structures that lists most chemicals involved in repellent development.
A thought-provoking discussion of the process of testing formulated products and comprehensive reviews of natural and synthetic active ingredients round out the book抯 coverage. It supplies an in-depth understanding of the variety of purposes served by repellent bioassays and lays the foundation for evaluating data and designing new tests as well as developing and delivering new tools and approaches. This book provides all the information you need to give evidence-based recommendations.
