A large number of diseases affecting the troop strength of deployed units are directly attributed to disease-carrying arthropods. Arthropod-borne diseases and nuisance pests can be prevented or controlled by using a number of techniques including personal protective measures and environmental controls. In many situations, personal protective measures such as avoiding infested areas, or the use of physical barriers or chemical repellents such as topical applications of DEET and Permethrin treated uniforms, may be the only means of protection available.
