A dual-target molecular mechanism of pyrethrum repellency against mosquitoes
Although pyrethrum is used to repel insects for centuries, the underlying mechanism has been enigmatic. Liu et al. found that specific components of pyrethrum mediate repellency by targeting olfactory receptors and/or voltage-gated sodium channels in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes.
