  • Kinetic interpretation of log-logistic dose-time response curves 
    Focke, Walter Wilhelm; Van der Westhuizen, Isbe; Musee, Ndeke; Loots, Mattheus Theodor (Nature Publishing Group, 2017-05-22)
    A Hill-type time-response curve was derived using a single-step chemical kinetics approximation. The rate expression for the transformation is a differential equation that provides an interpolation formula between the ...
  • Microporous polyolefin strands as controlled-release devices for mosquito repellents 
    Mapossa, António Benjamim; Sibanda, Mthokozisi Mayibongwe; Sitoe, Alcides Everildo José; Focke, Walter Wilhelm; Braack, L.E.O.; Ndonyane, Cyril; Mouatcho, Joel Claude; Smart, Jansie; Muaimbo, Herminio; Androsch, Rene; Loots, Mattheus Theodor (Elsevier, 2019-03)
    The main vectors of malaria in Africa, i.e. An. arabiensis, An. gambiae s.s. and An. funestus, are attracted by human foot odour and they tend to bite victims in the ankle area. Hence, affordable mosquito-repellent ...
  • A promising azeotrope-like mosquito repellent blend 
    Izadi, Homa; Focke, Walter Wilhelm; Asaadi, Erfan; Maharaj, Rajendra; Pretorius, Jannie; Loots, Mattheus Theodor (Nature Publishing Group, 2017-08-31)
    Topical repellents play a key role in reducing the outdoor transmission of mosquito-borne diseases by reducing human-vector contact. Excellent repellents are available, but there is always room for improvement. This ...
