| Abstract | Laboratory and field trials of dimethyl phthalate (DMP), diethyl phthalate (DEP) and dibutyl phthalate (DBP) were carried out in order to evaluate the substances in detail and comparatively as repellents against blood sucking arthropods and also to determine their toxicity for warm blooded animals. DBP was found to possess comparatively more stable repelling properties against fleas (Xenopsilla cheopis) and ticks (Xodes persulcatus), whereas DMP and DEP showed better properties as repellents in trials in olfactometers for mosquitoes and horse flies. When the drugs were applied on the skin it was found that in hot weather in the Krasnoyarsk region DMP protected against mosquitoes (Aedes gr. communis) for 6 hr 50 min, DEP for 1 hr 20 min and DBP for 40 min, and in cool weather for 7 hr 40 min, 5 hr and 3 hr 50 min, respectively. All 3 substances (DMP, DEP, DBP) have a relatively low general toxicity but a strong irritant effect when applied to the conjunctival mucosa. The drugs produced no irritation of the skin after numerous applications in man. |
