AB - Abstract Variations in the electronically recorded biting rate of Aedes aegypti (L.) on low-level repellent-treated mice and untreated controls were examined in the laboratory as a function of age, day of test, and time of day of test in a statistical randomized block design that permitted independent evaluation of each of these variables. The biting rate on untreatcd controls was significantly affected by all of these variables, but the biting rate on repellent-treated mice was less significantly affected probably due to generally decreased total biting. Comparisons of the results of biting rhythms and repellency assays by this method and methods in which human subjects were used showed excellent agreement. This content is only available as a PDF.
