Efficacy of Blood Sources and Artificial Blood Feeding Methods in Rearing of Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) for Sterile Insect Technique and Incompatible Insect Technique Approaches in Sri Lanka [PDF]

BioMed Research International, 2017
Introduction. Selection of the artificial membrane feeding technique and blood meal source has been recognized as key considerations in mass rearing of vectors. Methodology. Artificial membrane feeding techniques, namely, glass plate, metal plate, and Hemotek membrane feeding method, and three blood sources (human, cattle, and chicken) were evaluated ...

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 ...

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

Journal of Pest Science, 2020
AbstractThe spotted wingDrosophila,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. suzukiiinfests a wide range of ripening fruits, leading to substantial yield and revenue losses.
