Estimating mosquito abundance and population suppression in an incompatible insect technique study

Journal of Applied Ecology, 2023
Abstract Aedes aegypti (L.) is an invasive mosquito responsible for vectoring diseases such as dengue, Zika and Chikungunya. Dengue affects a large proportion of the global population, with the World Health Organization estimating that half the global population is at risk, with 390 million infections occurring each year.

The optimal strategy of incompatible insect technique (IIT) using Wolbachia and the application to malaria control.

Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2023
For decades, techniques to control vector population with low environmental impact have been widely explored in both field and theoretical studies. The incompatible insect technique (IIT) using Wolbachia, based on cytoplasmic incompatibility, is a technique that Wolbachia-infected male mosquitoes are incapable of producing viable offspring after mating

Combining sterile and incompatible insect techniques for the population suppression of Drosophila suzukii [PDF]

Journal of Pest Science, 2020
The spotted wing Drosophila, Drosophila suzukii, has recently invaded Europe and the Americas, and it is a major threat for a wide variety of commercial soft fruits both in open field and greenhouse production systems. D.

Sterile insect technique and incompatible insect technique, emerging alternatives to insecticides for adult mosquito control

Journal of Integrated Pest Management
Adult mosquitoes are vectors for many infectious diseases, such as the dengue, Zika, and West Nile viruses, and thus are significant threats to public health.

Aedes aegypti lines for combined sterile insect technique and incompatible insect technique applications: the importance of host genomic background [PDF]

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, 2020
Aedes aegypti L. (Diptera: Culicidae), being the primary vector of pathogenic arboviruses, is a target for the development of novel genetic approaches to complement current conventional vector control strategies such as the combined sterile insect and ...

A One-Sided Competition Mathematical Model for the Sterile Insect Technique

Complexity, 2020
We study a simple mathematical model describing the dynamics of a wild-type pest insects population experiencing competition from sterile insects (one-sided competition).

Pilot trial using mass field-releases of sterile males produced with the incompatible and sterile insect techniques as part of integrated Aedes aegypti control in Mexico

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2022
Background The combination of Wolbachia-based incompatible insect technique (IIT) and radiation-based sterile insect technique (SIT) can be used for population suppression of Aedes aegypti.

Are the sterile insect technique and the incompatible insect techniques effective in reducing Aedes mosquito populations?

medRxiv
AbstractBackgroundThe control ofAedes aegyptiandAedes albopictusmosquitoes, the main vectors of dengue, chikungunya and Zika viruses, presents several challenges. The difficulties encountered in acquiring funding, implementing measures, obtaining community participation, acceptability and effectiveness, and the problem of insecticide resistance ...
