The repellent action of neem oil (extracted from the seeds of Azadirachta indica A. Juss) was evaluated on mosquitoes at two villages near Delhi, India. Kerosene lamps containing neem oil were burned in the living rooms, and mosquitoes resting walls or attracted to human bait were collected inside rooms from 1800 to 0600 h. Neem oil (0.01-1%) mixed in kerosene reduced biting of human volunteers and catches of mosquitoes resting on walls in the rooms. Protection was more pronounced against Anopheles than against Culex. A 1% neem oil-kerosene mixture may provide economical personal protection from mosquito bites.
对从印度楝（Azadirachta indica A. Juss）种子中提取的印楝油在印度德里附近的两个村庄进行了驱蚊作用评估。在客厅里燃烧装有印楝油的煤油灯，于18:00至06:00收集停留在墙壁上或被人体诱饵吸引的蚊子。煤油中混合0.01 - 1%的印楝油可减少对人类志愿者的叮咬以及房间墙壁上蚊子的捕获量。对按蚊的防护比对库蚊更显著。1%的印楝油 - 煤油混合物可为个人提供经济实惠的防蚊叮咬保护。
