Vast assortment of TM Raptor and Gardex products showed high efficiency in protection from bites of mosquitoes, including infected mosquitoes transmitting Zika virus.

On 1 February, 2016 the World Health Organization declared Zika virus a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. Zika vaccine still doesn't exist. Spreading rapidly all over the world, the virus reached the USA and Europe. The first case of Zika virus disease has already been recorded in Russia too. Therefore the Russian Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing (Rospotrebnadzor) enhanced airport control of tourists coming from the countries with unfavourable situation because of transmissible fevers.

Zika virus is spread by Aedes species mosquitoes. That is why the most effective preventive measure is to stay protected from bites. All TM Raptor and Gardex products successfully passed tests against official requirements of Rospotrebnadzor in the Scientific Research Institute of Disinfectology.
