Advances in male sex separation for the support of mosquito control programs [PDF]

Frontiers in Insect Science
Several mosquito control technologies, including the sterile insect technique (SIT), the incompatible insect technique (IIT), and a variety of genetic technologies are emerging as promising solutions for combatting insecticide resistance and the spread ...

Heterogeneous suppressive effect of Wolbachia incompatible insect technique coupled with sterile insect technique across time and historical Ae. aegypti abundance - using distributional synthetic controls. [PDF]

PLoS Comput Biol
Background Biological control tools such as Wolbachia incompatible-insect technique, are a promising class of interventions to modify and suppress Aedes aegypti mosquitoes to reduce risk of

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

Journal of Integrated Pest Management
Abstract 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. Reducing mosquito populations decreases the risk of vector-borne diseases in human populations.

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

Abstract Background The control of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes, the main vectors of dengue, chikungunya and Zika viruses, presents several challenges. The difficulties encountered in

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 ...

Ecological dynamics of field Aedes albopictus populations under Wolbachia-mediated suppression [PDF]

Infectious Diseases of Poverty
Background The incompatible insect technique (IIT), based on Wolbachia-induced conditional sterility, has proven highly effective in suppressing mosquito populations for dengue control.

Transcriptional regulation of Culex pipiens mosquitoes by Wolbachia influences cytoplasmic incompatibility [PDF]

, 2013
Cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) induced by the endosymbiont Wolbachia pipientis causes complex patterns of crossing sterility between populations of the Culex pipiens group of mosquitoes. The molecular basis of the phenotype is yet to be defined.

Effect of Wolbachia Infection and Adult Food on the Sexual Signaling of Males of the Mediterranean Fruit Fly Ceratitis capitata

Insects, 2022
Sexual signaling is a fundamental component of sexual behavior of Ceratitis capitata that highly determines males’ mating success. Nutritional status and age are dominant factors known to affect males’ signaling performance and define the female decision

Survival-Larval Density Relationships in the Field and Their Implications for Control of Container-Dwelling Aedes Mosquitoes

Insects, 2022
Population density can affect survival, growth, development time, and adult size and fecundity, which are collectively known as density-dependent effects.
