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

Combined sterile insect technique and incompatible insect technique: sex separation and quality of sterile Aedes aegypti male mosquitoes released in a pilot population suppression trial in Thailand [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Background The sterile insect technique (SIT), which is based on irradiation-induced sterility, and incompatible insect technique (IIT), which is based on Wolbachia-induced cytoplasmic incompatibility (a kind of male sterility), have been used as ...

Wolbachia Infection through Hybridization to Enhance an Incompatible Insect Technique-Based Suppression of Aedes albopictus in Eastern Spain [PDF]

Insects
The emergence of insecticide resistance in arbovirus vectors is putting the focus on the development of new strategies for control. In this regard, the exploitation of Wolbachia endosymbionts is receiving increasing attention due to its demonstrated ...

Wolbachia incompatible insect technique program optimization over large spatial scales using a process-based model of mosquito metapopulation dynamics [PDF]

BMC Biology
Background Wolbachia incompatible insect technique (IIT) programs have been shown in field trials to be highly effective in suppressing populations of mosquitoes that carry diseases such as dengue, chikungunya, and Zika.

Production and shipment of wolbachia-infected eggs allows the control of aedes albopictus through the incompatible insect technique on a remote island [PDF]

Communications Biology
Climate and land-use changes are accelerating the spread of the mosquito Aedes albopictus, a major arbovirus vector, leading to the emergence and autochthonous transmission of dengue or chikungunya viruses in temperate regions such as Italy and France ...

Addition of a single bacterial isolate to conventional larval rearing water can impact wing size and longevity in adult male Aedes aegypti. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
Male mosquitoes are mass-reared around the globe for use in mosquito control programs like Sterile Insect Technique and Incompatible Insect Technique. During larval development, mosquitoes co-exist with complex microbial communities that serve as food ...
