Anopheles minimus was found to be more sensitive to beta-caryophyllene oxide than that of Ae. aegypti and exhibited high avoidance response rates (86-96% escape) at 0.5% and 1.0% concentrations in contact and non-contact trials compared with Ae. aegypti (22-59% escape). However, at the same concentrations, DEET displayed lower irritancy and repellency capacities against these two mosquito species (range 0-54% escape) compared to beta-aryophyllene oxide. The analysis of escape responses showed significant differences between mosquito species at all concentrations (P < 0.05) except for 0.1%. For both species, there were significant differences in irritant and repellent responses between beta-caryophyllene oxide and DEET at higher concentrations (0.5 and 1.0%). specialized Aedes aegypti Anopheles minimus beta-Caryophyllene oxide Contact irritancy Non-contact repellency 052 020 197 art. 105030 [8 p.] 2019 0001-706X https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010077388 10.1016/j.actatropica.2019.05.021 0001-706X [F B010077388] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010077388 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/2019/12/010077388.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2020-01-07 2025-02-24 fdi:010077388 fre
