ABSTRACT / SAŽETAK:

The use of materials that protect people from attacks by blood-sucking mosquitoes and ticks can significantly reduce the transmission of vector-borne infections. The results of this study demonstrate that inorganic oxides can be employed as repellent carrier substances to develop controlled-release materials. However, there was no direct correlation between the adsorption activity Qe (mg/g) and the concentration of N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide (DEET) in the fabric(mg/m2). The most effective materials were produced using Al2O3 and ZrO2 oxides (more than 80 mg/m2 of DEET), as they contained the highest repellent concentration and therefore will have the greatest biological effect with the lowest economic costs. The materials have a high potential against blood-sucking insects and can be used in various conditions due to their controlled and prolonged effect.
