ResumoA new combination of repellent with camouflage face paint was evaluated on volunteers against the mosquitoes Aedes aegypti (L.) and Anopheles stephensi (Liston) in an environmental chamber under three climatic regimens: tropical open, tropical forested, and hot dry environments. The duration of protection varied significantly among different climates. The camouflage face paint with diethylmethylbenzamide (deet) provided 95% protection from mosquitoes for 4 h, except under tropical open climate, where it provided only 2 h protection.
