Residual bioefficacy of attractive targeted sugar bait stations targeting malaria vectors during seasonal deployment in Western Province of Zambia [PDF]

Malaria Journal
Background The primary vector control interventions in Zambia are long-lasting insecticidal nets and indoor residual spraying. Challenges with these interventions include insecticide resistance and the outdoor biting and resting behaviours of many ...

Control of Aedes albopictus populations by silencing of the vesicular GABA transporter (vgat) and the vesicular monoamine transporter (vmat) genes using recombinant Chlorella shRNA [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors
Background Aedes albopictus is a primary vector for the transmission of dengue fever. RNA interference (RNAi)-based biocidal technology represents an important alternative and complement to conventional chemically synthesized insecticides.

Attractive targeted sugar bait: the pyrrole insecticide chlorfenapyr and the anti-malarial pharmaceutical artemether–lumefantrine arrest Plasmodium falciparum development inside wild pyrethroid-resistant Anopheles gambiae s.s. mosquitoes [PDF]

Malaria Journal, 2023
Background Attractive targeted sugar bait (ATSB) is a novel approach to vector control, offering an alternative mode of insecticide delivery via the insect alimentary canal, with potential to deliver a variety of compounds new to medical entomology and ...

Large-scale field trial of attractive toxic sugar baits (ATSB) for the control of malaria vector mosquitoes in Mali, West Africa [PDF]

Malaria Journal, 2020
Background The aim of this field trial was to evaluate the efficacy of attractive toxic sugar baits (ATSB) in Mali, where sustained malaria transmission occurs despite the use of long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs). ATSB bait stations were deployed in

Development of an eco-friendly RNAi yeast attractive targeted sugar bait that silences the shaker gene in spotted-wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii. [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci
This study discusses a promising new attractive targeted sugar bait (ATSB) technology using yeast that expresses shRNA targeting essential genes in the fruit pest spotted‐wing drosophila (SWD). The yeast, which is delivered using soda as a sugar bait, could one day be an effective component in integrated SWD control programs.
