Project Number: 1275-32000-001-17
Project Type: Specific Cooperative Agreement

Start Date: Aug 22, 2008
End Date: Apr 30, 2013

Objective:
Understand the structural/physiochemical basis of the activity of chemicals as mosquito repellents, attractants, and toxicants. Carry-out field-study assisted design of novel toxicants and attractants and develop synthesis, in support of deployed war fighters protection initiative.

Approach:
Will use the quantitive structural activity relation (QSAR) assisted design of novel compounds and optimize them for field evaluation against vectors of diseases.
