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 ...

Semiochemical mediated enhancement of males to complement sterile insect technique in management of the tephritid pest Bactrocera tryoni (Froggatt)

Scientific Reports, 2017
Queensland fruit fly, Bactrocera tryoni (Froggatt), is the most significant pest of Australia’s $9 billion horticulture industry. The sterile insect technique (SIT) and cue-lure (a synthetic analogue of raspberry ketone (RK))-based male annihilation ...

Incompatible Aedes aegypti male releases as an intervention to reduce mosquito population-A field trial in Puerto Rico. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases
Mosquito-transmitted viruses such as dengue are a global and growing public health challenge. Without widely available vaccines, mosquito control is the primary tool for fighting the spread of these viruses.

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
