Strategies to Mitigate Establishment under the Wolbachia Incompatible Insect Technique [PDF]

Viruses, 2022
The Incompatible Insect Technique (IIT) strategy involves the release of male mosquitoes infected with the bacterium Wolbachia. Regular releases of male Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes can lead to the suppression of mosquito populations, thereby reducing ...

A standalone incompatible insect technique enables mosquito suppression in the urban subtropics [PDF]

Communications Biology, 2022
A field trial in Changsha, China, involving the release of a triple Wolbachia-infected strain of the mosquito, Aedes albopictus, demonstrates the feasibility of using an incompatible insect technique to suppress disease vector mosquito populations in ...

Modelling the Wolbachia incompatible insect technique: strategies for effective mosquito population elimination [PDF]

BMC Biology, 2020
Background The Wolbachia incompatible insect technique (IIT) shows promise as a method for eliminating populations of invasive mosquitoes such as Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus) (Diptera: Culicidae) and reducing the incidence of vector-borne diseases such as ...

Cytoplasmic incompatibility management to support Incompatible Insect Technique against Aedes albopictus [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Background The transinfection of the endosymbiotic bacterium Wolbachia provides a method to produce functionally sterile males to be used to suppress mosquito vectors.

A mass rearing cost calculator for the control of Culex quinquefasciatus in Hawaiʻi using the incompatible insect technique [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2022
Background Hawaiʻi’s native forest avifauna is experiencing drastic declines due to climate change-induced increases in temperature encroaching on their upper-elevation montane rainforest refugia.

Comparison on the quality of sterile Aedes aegypti mosquitoes produced by either radiation-based sterile insect technique or Wolbachia-induced incompatible insect technique. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
Novel and alternative vector control approaches using a sterile male-based release to suppress Aedes aegypti mosquito vectors have recently been tested in the field in many countries.

Combined sterile insect technique and incompatible insect technique: The first proof-of-concept to suppress Aedes aegypti vector populations in semi-rural settings in Thailand. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2019
BACKGROUND:Important arboviral diseases, such as dengue, chikungunya, and Zika virus infections, are transmitted mainly by the Aedes aegypti vector.

Use of mechanical and behavioural methods to eliminate female Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus for sterile insect technique and incompatible insect technique applications [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
Background Sex separation of mosquitoes at different stages is currently being attempted to ensure the successful release of male mosquitoes in novel vector control approaches. Mechanical and behavioral techniques have been tried most frequently. Methods

Combining the Sterile Insect Technique with the Incompatible Insect Technique: III-Robust Mating Competitiveness of Irradiated Triple Wolbachia-Infected Aedes albopictus Males under Semi-Field Conditions. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Combination of the sterile insect technique with the incompatible insect technique is considered to be a safe approach to control Aedes albopictus populations in the absence of an accurate and scalable sex separation system or genetic sexing strain.
