Biopolymeric and lipid-based nanotechnological strategies for the design and development of novel mosquito repellent systems: recent advances.

Mosquitoes are the most medically important arthropod vectors of several human diseases. These diseases are known to severely incapacitate and debilitate millions of people, resulting in countless loss of lives. Over the years, several measures have been put in place to control the transmission of mosquito-borne diseases, one of which is using repellents.
