Deet is studied in entomology due to its role as an active ingredient in insect repellent formulations. It is in investigations to understand the responses of insects, particularly mosquitoes, to chemical repellents. Deet studies that explore its volatility and dispersion in the environment to optimize its effectiveness and longevity in repellent applications. Studies also delve into the molecular mechanisms by which Deet affects the olfactory system of insects, which is critical to developing more effective repellent substances. Deet serves as a model compound in the study of percutaneous absorption and the development of controlled-release systems to prolong its repellent action.
