Mosquito problem is the major problem in our country. There are many pesticide formulated products available in the market to compete the mosquito generating problems. The major drawback of these products is that they are not safe for human beings so, there is urgent requirement of safe and effective formulation. The aim of this study is to develop an effective, safe, and slow release formulation against mosquito control. In the present study, neemmicroemulsion was converted into microemulsion gel by using polymeric gel matrix Carbopol-934. Microemulsion formulation is the thermodynamically stabilized formulation and globular size is in nano range. These characteristic features of microemulsion will remain same in the gel phase. Size and zeta potential of microemulsion gel are (400± 6) nm and-10.0 m V, respectively. Synersis, spreading coefficient value are in the range of stabilized gel formulation and suitable for impregnating mosquito net. Neemmicroemulsion based gel impregnated net gives 90% repellency against mosquitoes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
