Abstract:In accordance with the national standards of the People’s Republic of China,GB /T 17322. 10 - 1998,and
the“supporting technology guideline of special pharmaceutical research and development for the People’s Liberation
Army”( hereafter《the guidline》),we evaluated the effectiveness of a combination of the insect repellent N,N-diethyl-3-
methylbenzamide (DEET) and camouflage face paint (CFP) in repelling mosquitoes in a laboratory. The results show that
CFP mixed with DEET provided effective protection against mosquitoes. CFP mixed with 20% and 25% DEET provided
protection against mosquitoes for 10 hours or more,which met the requirement of the guideline. However,CFP mixed with
15% DEET provided protection against mosquitoes for no more than 10 hours,which didn’t meet the guideline’s
requirements. The results indicate that CFP mixed with DEET could provide both camouflage and mosquito protection
during field exercises and in wartime.
