Exploiting a natural instance of vertebrate-posed chemical aposematism for tick bite prevention: Repellency of Ixodes scapularis with (E)-Oct-2-enal.

Exploiting a natural instance of vertebrate-posed chemical aposematism for tick bite prevention: Repellency of Ixodes scapularis with (E)-Oct-2-enal.

Ticks are medically important, nuisance arthropods found worldwide. Applications of semiochemical-based tick repellents for personal protection and reproductive/reservoir host-targeted tick interventions are understudied. We evaluated the repellency of a semiochemical allomone of donkey sebum, (E)-o...
