As the global climate changes, scientists anticipate that the
distribution of animal populations and disease vectors will expand.
In the case of arthropods, such efforts hold immense significance
as they have the potential to increase human mortality and
suffering from arboviruses above current levels. The 238th American
Chemical Society National Meeting and Exposition in Washington,
D.C. on August 16-20, 2009, offered an opportunity for researchers
to present and discuss new findings in invertebrate repellents
research, regulations, and technology development. Recently efforts
have been made to understand the role of chemicals in arthropod
behavior, and screening programs are starting to incorporate
repellency testing into their battery of bioassays. The lack of
standardized protocols for measuring and comparison of repellents
has remained a significant obstacle in arthropod research.
Oftentimes studies report variable measures of success, and
comparison of results across studies is not always consistent.
Progress in the standardization of arthropod test methods for
repellents would be valuable to many groups including academic
researchers working in the field, contract labs supplying test
results, government research laboratories, regulatory bodies in the
process of developing guidelines for product registration, as well
as companies looking to invest in new technologies. Perhaps one
complicating factor in this process has been that research and
technology haven't moved fast enough to meet the demand for
effective arthropod repellents. Issues such as pest arthropod
resurgence and insecticide/repellent resistance to chemical can
create new challenges and add pressure for researchers. The
collection of chapters in this book covers a range of applied and
basic research on arthropod repellents. An overview of the state of
arthropod repellents research is provided at the start. In the
chapters that follow, there is a selection of papers demonstrating
research on new repellent technologies at different stages of
development. The scope of basic and applied research methods
described in these chapters on new repellent technologies presents
the range of testing that is often necessary to move a repellent
technology forward in development. The transition from newly
developed technologies to registered products is achieved in
perspective of a growing market for natural arthropod repellents.
New technologies that are completely developed and have gone
through registration need to be accompanied by successful
commercialization. The growing market for natural arthropod
repellents presents such an example and highlights new
opportunities in this area. The concluding chapter discusses the
public entomology landscape, past and future opportunities for the
development of chemical protectants.
