The mosquito repellent efficacy of New Mountain Sandalwood Mosquito Sticks (containing 0.5% w/w essential oils) and New Mountain Sandalwood Botanical Repellent (containing soybean and geranium oils) was assessed. Tests were conducted in the field with 4 volunteers in a wooded area near Cairns, North Queensland, Australia. Predominant biting species were Verrallina funerea and Ve. lineata. A pair of burning Mosquito Sticks immediately upwind of the subject (acting as an area repellent) provided a 73.1% mean reduction in mosquito landing and probing over the 3-h test period. The Botanical Repellent and a DEET-based control were both 100% effective in preventing mosquito probing for 3 h. These data are consistent with other studies of area repellents in that such products provide significant protection from mosquito bites, albeit inferior to the protection provided by topically applied repellents.
对新型檀香型蚊香（含0.5%重量/重量的精油）和新型檀香型植物驱蚊剂（含大豆油和天竺葵油）的驱蚊效果进行了评估。测试在澳大利亚北昆士兰凯恩斯附近的一片林区进行，有4名志愿者参与。主要的叮咬蚊种是葬礼维蚊和线纹维蚊。在受试者上风处放置一对燃烧的蚊香（作为区域驱蚊剂），在3小时的测试期内，平均减少了73.1%的蚊子着陆和刺叮。植物驱蚊剂和基于避蚊胺的对照在3小时内均能100%有效防止蚊子刺叮。这些数据与其他关于区域驱蚊剂的研究一致，即此类产品能提供显著的防蚊叮咬保护，尽管不如局部涂抹的驱蚊剂提供的保护效果好。
