Two soap formulations, both containing 20% deet and one each containing permethrin at 0.5 and 1.0%, respectively, were applied to exposed arms and legs of volunteers as personal protection against outdoor human biting mosquitoes in six locations on Penang Island, Malaysia. The predominant mosquito species collected from these locations were Aedes albopictus, Mansonia uniformis, Culex gelidus, Anopheles lesteri and Armigeres subalbatus. Efficacy and residual effects up to 4 hours indicated good protection against these species. Reduction in mosquito landing-biting rates in treated groups ranged from 83.8 to 100.0%. At high densities, small percentages of Ma. uniformis and An. lesteri landed or bit on treated skin. Use of the soap formulations in terms of cost-effectiveness, safety and overall vector control strategy for some tropical diseases is discussed.
两种均含有20%避蚊胺的肥皂配方，以及另外两种分别含有0.5%和1.0%氯菊酯的肥皂配方，被涂抹在志愿者暴露的手臂和腿部，作为在马来西亚槟城岛六个地点防止户外蚊虫叮咬人类的个人防护措施。从这些地点采集到的主要蚊虫种类有白纹伊蚊、同型曼蚊、杰氏库蚊、雷氏按蚊和骚扰阿蚊。长达4小时的有效性和残留效果表明对这些蚊虫种类有良好的防护作用。处理组蚊虫着陆叮咬率的降低幅度在83.8%至100.0%之间。在高密度情况下，有小比例的同型曼蚊和雷氏按蚊会落在或叮咬处理过的皮肤上。文中还讨论了这些肥皂配方在成本效益、安全性以及针对某些热带疾病的总体病媒控制策略方面的应用。
