| Abstract | N,N-Diethyl-m-methylbenzamide (DEET)-based repellents may provoke dermal toxicity in infants and children. For use against mosquitoes, various plant-derived essential oils are considered useful alternatives to such synthetic chemicals. The present study was undertaken to scientifically evaluate the repellency of 33 essential oils against female Culex pipiens pallens adults. By using the ASTM E951-94 apparatus with human volunteers, we showed that the 33 essential oils exhibited varying degrees of mosquito repellency. Four oils, namely, clove bud, clove leaf, juniperberry and majoram, showed good repellency at a concentration of 0.005 mg/cm$^{2}$. The clove bud and clove leaf oils had higher repellency than citronella known as a commercial repellent ingredient. Analysis of the clove bud and clove leaf oils by GC and GC-MS revealed their major components. Repellency analysis of these individual components indicated that isoeugenol, a major component of clove bud oil, had the highest repellency, while eugenol, a major component of both clove oils, was also more repellent than citronella. Clove bud oil, which was the most repellent of all tested oils, exhibited the prolonged repellency when mixed with vanillin for long-term use. Clove bud oil clearly had higher repellency than commercial repellents. Further research on means to prolong the repellency of this oil will be necessary before it can replace DEET. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
