    Author: Dua VK, Gupta NC, Pandey AC, Sharma VP.
    Journal: J Am Mosq Control Assoc; 1996 Sep; 12(3 Pt 1):406-8. PubMed ID: 8887218.
    Abstract:
    The repellent effect of Lantana camara flowers was evaluated against Aedes mosquitoes. Lantana flower extract in coconut oil provided 94.5% protection from Aedes albopictus and Ae. aegypti. The mean protection time was 1.9 h. One application of Lantana flower can provide more than 50% protection up to 4 h against the possible bites of Aedes mosquitoes. No adverse effects of the human volunteers were observed through 3 months after the application.
