Naturally occurring incompatibilities between different Culex pipiens pallens populations as the basis of potential mosquito control measures. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2013 BACKGROUND: Vector-borne diseases remain a threat to public health, especially in tropical countries. The incompatible insect technique has been explored as a potential control strategy for several important insect vectors. However, this strategy has not

Aedes aegyptilines for combined sterile insect technique and incompatible insect technique applications: the importance of host genomic background [PDF]
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, 2020 AbstractAedes aegyptiL. (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 incompatible insect technique (SIT/IIT). A transinfected line ofAe.

Global Warming and Mass Extinctions Associated With Large Igneous Province Volcanism
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 83-102., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

A mosquito vector control model based on incompatible and sterile insect techniques
, 2022 Abstract Recent successful field trials have demonstrated that combining incompatible insect technique and sterile insect technique becomes promising and feasible for mosquito vector control. In this paper, by considering wild mosquito population consisting of Wolbachia-infected mosquitoesand regular uninfected individuals, we formulate a ...

Cytoplasmic incompatibility as a means of controlling Culex pipiens quinquefasciatus mosquito in the islands of the south-western Indian Ocean. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2011 The use of the bacterium Wolbachia is an attractive alternative method to control vector populations. In mosquitoes, as in members of the Culex pipiens complex, Wolbachia induces a form of embryonic lethality called cytoplasmic incompatibility, a sperm ...
