300 - An experimental house model for evaluating mosquito repellent formulations against Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus.

We describe an experimental house model available at the Collaborative Unit for Entomological Bioassays (UCBE-UADY) that can be used for evaluating repellent formulations against wild, free-flying mosquitoes, including Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus, the vectors of dengue, chikungunya and Zika. We present results of the evaluation of the efficacy of a DEET repellent formulation, and the determination of Complete Time of Protection (CPT) on both Aedes species in semi-field trials in Merida, Yucatan, Mexico.
