	abstract = "<P></P>Wing-beat sound frequencies at 370, 440, 493 and 554 Hz were evaluated for female mosquito repellency. One hundred inseminated females of <I>Culex pipiens</I> were introduced into a 30 cm &#215; 30 cm &#215; 3 m screened cage with an electronic device (cellular phone) emitting selected frequencies positioned at one end of the chamber. The mosquitoes were counted in areas of 0.0-0.5, 0.5-1.0, 1.0-2.0 and 2.0-3.0 m from the cellular phone. In a second test, 50 <I>Cx. pipiens</I> were released in the screened cage with a shaved rat as bait placed beside the cellular phone (370 Hz) at the center of the chamber. Statistical analysis (anova) showed that significantly fewer (<I>P</I> &#60; 0.05) mosquitoes rested near the cellular phone at 370 Hz, but not at the other frequencies. Similarly, there was significant reduction (mean 33.0&#37;) in the number of mosquitoes taking a blood meal on the shaved rat when the cellular phone was turned on (<I>P &#60;</I> 0.01).",
