Mosquito Repellent Textile

Basically mosquito repelling textiles are the ones which have a character of repelling mosquitoes. This feature was developed as a need in sense of protection from the mosquitoes in the areas which are habitats of the mosquitoes and are prone to disease like malaria.

To impart this feature, the textile material is given an anti mosquito finish with an agent. This agent is capable of being used on textiles without spoiling their characteristics and has good washing fastness.

Need of Mosquito Repellent Textile

Because of global warming the distribution of mosquitoes has expanded from tropical regions to northern latitudes, and that leads to a spread in sources of viral infection from mosquitoes. Especially, the West Nile fever virus, which has infected many people around the world recently, has become a big issue. West Nile fever occurs routinely in Africa as its virus was first recognized in humans at the West Nile District of Uganda in 1937, and then infections were confirmed in Israel, France and South Africa and it is now showing signs of spreading further all over the world. The first outbreak occurred in New York City in 1999, which spread rapidly to over 4000 people all over the U.S. and killed over 240 people.

It is likely that the virus arrived via wild birds imported as pets and via plane or boat in an infected mosquito. Persons diagnosed with the disease have recently even been confirmed in the island country of Japan with the wave of globalization, and the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare requires cases be reported to prefecture governors under regulations for disease control and prevention.

West Nile fever is on an increase on the global scale

Symptoms of West Nile fever include sudden high fever over 39 degrees, headache, muscle ache, and a rash after an incubation period of 2 days to 2 weeks, and have some similarity to atypical pneumonia. About 20 % of infected people have a chance of developing the disease, and 1 % becomes desperately ill causing brain fever which leads to eventual death.

Thus, West Nile fever is a terrifying disease after being exposed to it.

On an overall basis, the need is for finishing textile products to protect against mosquito-transmitted viral infections such as Malaria, West Nile fever and Japanese encephalitis.
