Obtaining a detailed travel itinerary and understanding traveler-specific and destination-specific risk factors can help mitigate the risk of vector-borne diseases. DEET, picaridin, PMD, and IR3535 are insect repellents that offer sufficient protection against arthropod bites. IR3535 does not provide adequate protection against Anopheles mosquitoes, and should be avoided in malaria-endemic regions. General protective measures, such as bite avoidance, protective clothing, insecticide-treated bed nets, and insecticide-treated clothing, should be recommended, especially in malaria-endemic areas. Spatial repellents may prevent nuisance biting, but have not been shown to prevent against vector-borne disease.<p> Medical Clinics of North America 2022-02-21T22:48:57.408-06:00 2 100 12501 19582 Insect Bites and Stings Personal protection measures against mosquitoes, ticks, and other arthropods [review] 10.1016/j.mcna.2015.08.019 review Travel document-rn360 Prevention public Animal Studies
