• The species:

Aedes aegypti is a very aggressive mosquito species. It is also known as the yellow fever mosquito and can be found in Africa as well as tropical and subtropical regions all around the globe. It can be responsible for insect-borne diseases like dengue fever, chikungunya, ZIKA fever, Mayaro fever, and yellow fever.

• Proven efficacy:

IR3535® insect repellents have proven their effective performance Against this species in a variety of lab and field studies.

• The species:

Also known as the Asian tiger mosquito, this mosquito was originally found in tropical and subtropical areas of Southeast Asia. Due to global warming, it now occurs in limited numbers on other continents as well, such as Europe and the Americas. This aggressive species forages by day and is one of the vectors of dengue fever, yellow fever, and chikungunya. It can also host the ZIKA virus and transmit it to humans.

• Proven efficacy:

IR3535® insect repellents have been proven to provide reliable protection against Aedes albopictus in several lab and field studies.

• A reliable insect repellent in tropical regions:

Used in higher concentrations (20% and 30% IR3535®) as a spray or aerosol, the formula performed on a par with DEET, offering up to 10 hours of protection (Test Institute in Brazil, Lab Test, 2017)** without negative side effects. This qualifies IR3535® as a reliable active ingredient in repellents used in tropical regions.

• The species:

This genus of mosquito can be found in tropical and subtropical regions all over the world. Insect repellents containing IR3535® can protect you and your loved ones from mosquito-transmitted diseases such as the West Nile virus, filariasis, Japanese encephalitis, and St. Louis encephalitis.

• Proven efficacy:

Used correctly as a bug repellent, IR3535® can prevent infection, as demonstrated in various field and lab studies involving Culex species.

This biting species occurs along the coast of Brazil, the Guianas, and Venezuela. It can be a transmitter of human malaria, with all of its devastating consequences.

• Proven efficacy:

IR3535® repellents have demonstrated reliable protection against the Anopheles species in various field and lab studies.

• Reliable protection in tropical regions:

Tested against Anopheles aquasalis in a spray or aerosol, after 10 hours no mosquito bites were found (study conducted under the same conditions as a DEET repellent). This result proves that IR3535® serves as a reliable and highly tolerable active substance in repellents, and can therefore help prevent malaria transmission in tropical regions (Test Institute in Brazil, Lab Test, 2017)* and **.

• The species:

Also known as the European sheep tick, Ixodes ricinus has spread from Western Europe to Central Asia and North Africa. Though a tick can cause trouble for animals and humans alike, it has a high affinity for the latter and is a vector for diseases in the Western world such as Lyme disease (also known as Lyme borreliosis), louping-ill, Q fever, and tick-borne encephalitis. It generally lives in grassy woodlands and humid micro-habitats.

• Reliable prevention:

A study conducted in 2017 with a 20% IR3535® pump spray demonstrated the repelling effect of IR3535® against Ixodes ricinus. The spray showed a maximum efficacy of 100%, even at the end of the test (after 6h testing time). A lotion with 10% IR3535® achieved an outstanding protection time of seven hours.

• The species:

Ixodes scapularis, also known as the deer tick, is widespread from the eastern to southeastern United States and Canada. The tick has a high affinity for humans and is the main vector for Lyme disease. It can also transmit other tick-borne diseases, such as encephalitis or babesiosis, with symptoms similar to malaria. It generally lives in wooded coastal areas and deciduous forests and thickets.

• Reliable prevention:

The repellent efficacy of IR3535® against Ixodes scapularis was tested in 2008. The results: A lotion with 10% IR3535® offered protection from bites for nine hours. A 20% IR3535® spray provided up to 11 hours of protection. An aerosol with a 30% concentration of IR3535® also provided up to 11 hours of protection.
