Close up of muddy march with insect walking through shot\u003cbr/\u003eA  Paraguayan company say they've developed an anti-mosquito shirt that masks the human odour which attracts the potentially deadly insects.\u003cbr/\u003eAs diseases such as dengue fever reach record levels in Latin America it's hoped the new clothing will help protect people who work in and around the flies' breeding ground.\u003cbr/\u003eIt's the bane of tourists the world over. \u003cbr/\u003eAs they flock eagerly to local landmarks, the resident mosquito community size up the fresh visitors with lunch in mind.\u003cbr/\u003eThe pesky insect's source of nutrition is found in the blood of animals and humans. \u003cbr/\u003eBut beside the itchy effects of their bite, mosquitoes are the most deadly disease transmitters known to man, killing million each year by circulating malaria, dengue fever and encephalitis.\u003cbr/\u003eIn recent years numerous quick fix devices to curb the effect of mosquitoes have dropped in and out of the market.\u003cbr/\u003eNow, a Paraguayan clothing company says it has a successful formula to beat the blood suckers -  a line of shirts that are steeped in anti mosquito oil.\u003cbr/\u003eAt the moment the shirts are targeted towards the lucrative US travel and sports apparel market, while tests are being carried out to evaluate the real preventative potential of the product.\u003cbr/\u003eRodrigo Jacks, owner of Pombero, a sports dedicated clothing company based in Asuncion helped develop the product. \u003cbr/\u003eHe says says the shirts are proving to be quite an innovation.\u003cbr/\u003eThe key ingredient is citronella - known to help repel mosquitoes. \u003cbr/\u003eThe fibre oil is extracted from a perfumed grass that grows abundantly in the land locked South American country.\u003cbr/\u003eThe shirt is then impregnated in the oil and sealed using a traditional Paraguayan weaving technique. \u003cbr/\u003eThe company say this allows it to withstand more than 40 washes without losing its power to hold off the insects.\u003cbr/\u003eCitronella's distinctive aroma is pleasant to humans but corrupts the senses of the mosquito, interfering with its ability to sniff out human blood.\u003cbr/\u003eThe impregnated cotton fabric is manufactured by the largest textile company in Paraguay, Manufactura de Pilar. \u003cbr/\u003eAs their chemical engineer, Juan Baveola explains, unlike other products it is not about repelling the mosquitoes, but actually about masking the human scent from them.\u003cbr/\u003eParaguay is the perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes that thrive in the wet marshy conditions which are bountiful in the country. \u003cbr/\u003eThe shirt is the result of several years of collaboration between the sport apparel company, Pombero and Paraguay's non-profit ecological foundation, Moises Bertoni.\u003cbr/\u003eThe director of Moises Bertoni, Yan Speranza, says the making of the shirt has facilitated the initiative of a humanitarian programme to improve the quality of life of hundreds of impoverished and indigenous families who live in the areas where citronella is harvested.\u003cbr/\u003eRodrigo Jacks says despite the obvious commercial potential of the anti-mosquito shirt he is confident they can be also be used for social gain. \u003cbr/\u003eAfter a dengue fever epidemic in Paraguay in early 2007, government scientists are interested in finding out whether the anti-mosquito shirt can protect against mosquito-borne viruses.\u003cbr/\u003eEven if proven successful, the shirt retails at US$ 50. \u003cbr/\u003eThis is far beyond the means of many Paraguayans, more than one third of whom live below the poverty line.\u003cbr/\u003eClients are reminded: \u003cbr/\u003e(i) to check the terms of their licence agreements for use of content outside news programming and that further advice and assistance can be
