  abstract = {{B}ackground: {M}ixing repellent and organophosphate ({OP}) insecticides to better control pyrethroid resistant mosquito vectors is a promising strategy developed for bed net impregnation. {H}ere, we investigated the opportunity to adapt this strategy to personal protection in the form of impregnated clothes. {M}ethods: {W}e compared standard permethrin impregnated uniforms with uniforms manually impregnated with the repellent {KBR}3023 alone and in combination with an organophosphate, {P}irimiphos-{M}ethyl ({PM}). {T}ests were carried out with {A}edes aegypti, the dengue fever vector, at dusk in experimental huts. {R}esults: {R}esults showed that the personal protection provided by repellent {KBR}3023-impregnated uniforms is equal to permethrin treated uniforms and that {KBR}3023/{PM}- impregnated uniforms are more protective. {C}onclusion: {T}he use of repellents alone or combined with {OP} on clothes could be promising for personal protection of military troops and travellers if residual activity of the repellents is extended and safety is verified.},
