Abstract

- The threat of tick-borne diseases has generated interest in methods for testing tick repellents.
- Tick geotactic responses are used in tests on human skin and on a warm glass plate to evaluate repellents.
- Repellent efficacy ranking and mode of action are very similar in both the skin and glass plate tests.
