Three personal protection methods were evaluated against phlebotomine sand flies in Panama. Skin applications of five selected repellents including deet (N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide) provided a mean coefficient of protection (CP) of 99.2% against the attack of at least three sand fly species. Deet-treated net jackets also provided good protection, but it was concluded that an additional application of repellent to the unprotected face was necessary for maximum protection. Permethrin-treated clothing did not provide the protection expected. Apparently sand fly behavior and resistance to quick knock-down were responsible for the numbers of bites recorded, and therefore maximum protection from bites would require application of deet or another suitable repellent to the exposed skin when wearing permethrin-treated clothing.
在巴拿马，针对白蛉评估了三种个人防护方法。对包括避蚊胺（N，N - 二乙基 - m - 甲苯酰胺）在内的五种选定驱避剂进行皮肤涂抹，对至少三种白蛉物种的叮咬提供了平均99.2%的防护系数（CP）。用避蚊胺处理过的网眼夹克也提供了良好的防护，但得出的结论是，为了获得最大程度的防护，有必要在未受保护的面部额外涂抹驱避剂。经氯菊酯处理的衣物并未提供预期的防护效果。显然，白蛉的行为以及对快速击倒的抗性导致了记录到的叮咬次数，因此，在穿着经氯菊酯处理的衣物时，要想最大程度地防止被叮咬，需要在暴露的皮肤上涂抹避蚊胺或其他合适的驱避剂。
