Koloski et al (2020) suggested that D. variabilis could be desensitized to DEET in their Petri dish assay, which could explain the discrepancy in results.…”

“…I. scapularis was chosen for its medical importance , Eisen 2019. D. variabilis was chosen as it has available laboratory reared strains and it has been shown to have low sensitivity to DEET as a repellent (Koloski 2020). We compare six registered repellent AIs with nine monoterpenoids, six sesquiterpenoids, and 22 biorational molecules.…”
