Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Most of today's rapidly spreading infectious diseases are arthropod-borne, and vaccinations are powerless to prevent them. Because insect repellents are effective topical barriers to the spread of arthropod-borne infectious illnesses. Plant-based (natural) and chemical-based products are both used (synthetic) as a mosquito repellents, which come in a variety of forms such as mosquito repeller coils, mosquito repeller oil, and so on, are becoming more popular around the world as vector-borne viral diseases such as Dengue, Chikungunya, and Malaria become more prevalent. The best alternative to the optimal formulation is determined by a number of elements, including the type of repellent (natural or synthetic), medicinal forms (spray, lotion, cream, gel), duration of action (short or long), exposure environment, and user (adult, pregnant women, children, newborn). DEET, IPicaridin, and essential oils are the most commonly utilised repellents, each with its own set of benefits and drawbacks. DEET is not suggested for children under the age of six months or pregnant women because of its toxicity. The current tendency is to employ pant-based repellent active compounds like essential oils, which have minimal toxicity, are environmentally friendly, but have a shorter repellent action period due to quick evaporation after skin contact. Repellents could be a visible option for people to reduce the risk of interaction with rare mosquito-borne diseases for mosquito borne diseases. The review highlights a summary of mosquito repellents, its novel discoveries, and areaof technicalstudies such as the novel and unique repellent formulations and their potentialfuture.
