LONDON – A chemical used in an insect repellent can kill the coronavirus strain responsible for COVID-19, according to an initial from the British defense laboratory published Wednesday.
Scientists at the Defense Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL) found that citriodiol, the active element in repellants like Mosi-guard, had antiviral properties if combined with the virus in the liquid phase and on a surface.
“Mixing a viral suspension with a Mosi-guard spray or deciding on the constituent parts resulted in relief in SARS-CoV-2,” he said.
At maximum concentration, “Mosi-guard gave a significant minimum Array . . . resulting in a non-recoverable virus,” he added.
Citriodiol is made from leaf oil and twigs of citriodora eucalyptus, which is discovered in Asia, South America and Africa, and is already known to kill other coronaviruses.
The paintings have not undergone an external peer review, and the Defense Ministry said it was intended “to serve as a basis for other clinical bodies searching for the virus and imaginable solutions. “
“DSTL hopes that the effects of these studies can be used as a springboard for other organizations to expand and broaden the studies to verify the effects of this publication,” he said.
British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace said in May that the country’s armed forces were receiving insect repellent to offer prospective coverage against the coronavirus.
He said a Citriodiol-based spray was administered to staff after the surgeon general pleaded that it “would do no harm” and would be used as an “extra layer of protection” as a precaution against exposure to the virus.
Since the early stages of the COVID-19 crisis, the Japan Times has provided free access to very important data on the effect of the new coronavirus, as well as practical data on how to deal with the pandemic. today so that we can continue to provide you with up-to-date and detailed data on Japan.
