A field experiment was conducted to compare the biting behavior of Plasmodium falciparum-infected and uninfected Anopheles on humans using mosquito repellents. Repellent formulations (5% [wt/vol] N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide [deet] or 5% [wt/vol] AI3-37220, a piperidine compound, both in 100% ethanol, or 100% ethanol alone [as a control]) were applied to the lower legs of 3 collectors in each of 4 houses. Collectors caught mosquitoes over 6 collection nights. Mosquitoes were collected into vials after they initiated probing on the leg of a collector. Infected females made up the same proportion of the Anopheles funestus populations biting either repellent-protected or unprotected individuals. We conclude that repellent formulations are equally effective against Plasmodium-infected and uninfected An. funestus.
进行了一项田间试验，以比较使用驱蚊剂时，感染恶性疟原虫和未感染的按蚊对人类的叮咬行为。将驱蚊剂配方（5%[重量/体积]N,N-二乙基-3-甲基苯甲酰胺[避蚊胺]或5%[重量/体积]AI3-37220，一种哌啶化合物，均溶于100%乙醇中，或仅用100%乙醇[作为对照]）涂于4所房屋中每所房屋的3名采集者的小腿上。采集者在6个采集夜晚捕捉蚊子。蚊子在开始叮咬采集者腿部后被收集到小瓶中。感染的雌性按蚊在叮咬有驱蚊剂保护或无保护个体的冈比亚按蚊种群中所占比例相同。我们得出结论，驱蚊剂配方对感染疟原虫和未感染的冈比亚按蚊同样有效。
