Abstract in brief

  • The article discusses the importance of insect repellents (IRs) in preventing serious vector-borne diseases like malaria, Zika, West Nile, dengue, and Lyme disease, emphasizing their role in public health and their key characteristics such as cost-effectiveness and high efficacy.
  • DEET is highlighted as the most widely used IR with a strong safety profile and effective protection, while alternative EPA-registered IR ingredients like permethrin, picaridin, IR3535, and natural oils are also discussed for their comparable efficacy and low toxicity.
  • The review provides information for clinicians on various IR options, including their origins, mechanisms, side effects, and formulations, helping them choose the best protection methods tailored to individual patient needs.]
