A field study was carried out to evaluate the mosquito repellent action of neem (Azadirachta indica) oil in tribal forested villages of District Mandla. Various concentrations of neem oil mixed in coconut oil (1-4%) were applied to the exposed body parts of human volunteers. Results revealed 81-91% protection during 12 h period of observation from the bites of anopheline mosquitoes. Neem oil is an indigenous product and a practical solution to curtail mosquito nuisance.
在曼德拉县的部落森林村庄开展了一项实地研究，以评估印楝（Azadirachta indica）油的驱蚊作用。将各种浓度（1%-4%）的印楝油与椰子油混合后涂抹在人类志愿者的暴露身体部位。结果显示，在12小时的观察期内，对按蚊叮咬的防护率为81%-91%。印楝油是一种本土产品，是减少蚊虫滋扰的切实可行的解决方案。
