Insect Resistant Textiles for Disease Vector Protection

Abstract

To develop wash durable insect bite resistant textile treatments using known mechanical insecticides/repellents: Validate insect resistance to mosquitoes (A. Aegypti) by in vitro and in vivo assays; Evaluate textile properties to ensure mechanical and physical properties are maintained. Objective 1: Formulate durable insect resistant textile treatment employing mechanical insecticides; Objective 2: Demonstrate the mosquito resistance with bioassay testing; Objective 3: Evaluate textile and mechanical properties.
