Research Project:
Design and Discovery of Novel Arthropod Repellents, Attractants and Toxicants
Location: Invasive Insect Biocontrol and Behavior Laboratory
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.
