Repellents inhibit P450 enzymes in Stegomyia (Aedes) aegypti.
The primary defence against mosquitoes and other disease vectors is often the application of a repellent. Despite their common use, the mechanism(s) underlying the activity of repellents is not fully understood, with even the mode of action of DEET having been reported to be via different mechanisms...
