| 摘要 |
The invention comprises the use of (a) a culture of natural skin microbiota existing of at least Staphylococcus species, Corynebacteria and Micrococcus species or (b) a culture of Staphylococcus epidermidis as behaviour modifying agents for mosquitoes. More particularly, culture (a) may produce at least the volatile organic compounds 2-hydroxy-3-pentanone, benzeneethanol and/or furfural and culture (b) may produce at least furfural. Culture (a) may further produce one or more volatile organic compounds selected from the group consisting of 1-butanol, 2,3-butanedione, 2-methyl-1-butanol, 2-methylbutanal, 2-methylbutanoic acid, 3-hydroxy-2-butanone, 3-methyl-1-butanol, 3-methylbutanal, 3-methylbutanoic acid, benzaldehyde and hexanal. Culture (b) may further produce 2-methylbutanal, 2-methylbutanoic acid, 3-methyl-1-butanol, 3-methylbutanal and 3-methylbutanoic acid and hexanal. Also part of the invention is the use of 2-hydroxy-3-pentanone, benzeneethanol or furfural as mosquito behaviour disrupting compounds. |
