Studies were carried out to evaluate the repellent action of Cymbopogan martinii martinii Stapf var. sofia (F. Gramineae) against mosquitoes under field conditions. Results revealed that the oil has strong repellent action and provided absolute protection for 12 h against Anopheles culicifacies, a principal vector of malaria in the country. Similar degree of protection was evident against An. annularis and An. subpictus. The protection against Culex quinquefasciatus, a pest mosquito was 96.3% for 12 h. Results of evaluation in captivity revealed complete protection against this species for 5 h.
开展了多项研究以评估马丁香茅（Cymbopogan martinii martinii Stapf var. sofia，禾本科）在野外条件下对蚊子的驱避作用。结果显示，该精油具有很强的驱避作用，对该国疟疾主要传播媒介库氏按蚊（Anopheles culicifacies）提供了长达12小时的完全防护。对环纹按蚊（An. annularis）和伪杂鳞库蚊（An. subpictus）也有类似程度的防护效果。对致倦库蚊（Culex quinquefasciatus）这一害虫蚊子的防护率在12小时内为96.3%。圈养评估结果显示，对该物种有长达5小时的完全防护。
