Smither, Sophie J. published the artcileInvestigative study into whether an insect repellent has virucidal activity against SARS-CoV-2, SDS of cas: 42822-86-6, the main research area is COVID SARSCoV Mosi guard natural insect repellent virucidal activity; Citriodiol; SARS-CoV-2; anti-viral activity; insect repellent; skin.
A small-scale study with Mosi-guard Natural spray, an insect repellent containing Citriodiol, was performed to determine if it has virucidal activity against SARS-CoV-2. A liquid test examined the activity of the insect repellent and the individual components for virucidal activity. A surface contact test looked at the activity of the insect repellent when impregnated on a latex surface as a synthetic skin for potential topical prophylactic application. Both Mosi-guard Natural spray and Citriodiol, as well as other components of the repellent, had virucidal activity in the liquid contact test. On a latex surface used to simulate treated skin, the titer of SARS-CoV-2 was less over time on the Mosi-guard Natural-treated surface but virus was still recovered.
