A small-scale study with Mosi-guard Natural spray, an insect repellent containing Citriodiol, was performed to determine if it has virucidal activity against SARS-CoV-2. A liquid test examined the activity of the insect repellent and the individual components for virucidal activity. A surface contact test looked at the activity of the insect repellent when impregnated on a latex surface as a synthetic skin for potential topical prophylactic application. Both Mosi-guard Natural spray and Citriodiol, as well as other components of the repellent, had virucidal activity in the liquid contact test. On a latex surface used to simulate treated skin, the titre of SARS-CoV-2 was less over time on the Mosi-guard Natural-treated surface but virus was still recovered.
一项使用含有香茅醇的驱虫剂 Mosi-guard Natural 喷雾的小规模研究旨在确定其是否对 SARS-CoV-2 具有杀病毒活性。液体测试检查了驱虫剂及其各个成分的杀病毒活性。表面接触测试研究了驱虫剂浸渍在乳胶表面（作为合成皮肤）时的活性，以作为潜在的局部预防性应用。在液体接触测试中，Mosi-guard Natural 喷雾和香茅醇以及驱虫剂的其他成分均具有杀病毒活性。在用于模拟处理过的皮肤的乳胶表面上，随着时间的推移，Mosi-guard Natural 处理过的表面上 SARS-CoV-2 的滴度降低，但仍能回收病毒。
