Effect of Quorum Sensing Inducers and Inhibitors on Cytoplasmic Incompatibility Induced by Wolbachia (Rickettsiales: Anaplasmataceae) in American Serpentine Leafminer (Diptera: Agromyzidae): Potential Tool for the Incompatible Insect Technique. [PDF]

J Insect Sci, 2022
Agricultural crops around the world are attacked by approximately 3,000–10,000 species of pest insect. There is increasing interest in resolving this problem using environmentally friendly approaches.

Mark-Release-Recapture of Packed and Shipped Aedes aegypti with Wolbachia: Implications for Conducting Remote Incompatible Insect Technique Programs. [PDF]

Am J Trop Med Hyg
. Male mosquitoes containing the endosymbiont Wolbachia (Wb+) can be used as a tool to suppress wild mosquito populations through a technique termed incompatible insect technique (IIT). IIT programs reduce wild mosquitoes via incompatible matings between

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.

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).

The optimal strategy of incompatible insect technique (IIT) using Wolbachia to control Malaria

bioRxiv, 2022
For decades, techniques to control vector population with low environmental impact have been widely explored in both field and theoretical studies. The incompatible insect method (IIT) using Wolbachia, based on cytoplasmic incompatibility, is a technique
