Validation of a new larval rearing unit for Aedes albopictus (Diptera: Culicidae) mass rearing. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The mosquito larval rearing unit developed at the Insect Pest Control Laboratory (IPCL) of the FAO/IAEA Joint Division was evaluated for its potential use for Aedes albopictus (Skuse, 1895) mass rearing in support of the development of a sterile insect ...

Asaia spp. exposure for improving mosquito mass-rearing, and the effects on Culex pipiens pipiens vector competence for West Nile virus. [PDF]
PLoS ONEVarious vector control strategies are in place to reduce the spread of arthropod-borne viruses. Some of these, such as application of insecticides, are encountering operational challenges and a reduced overall effectiveness due to evolution of resistance.

Mass rearing of Lucilia sericata Meigen (Diptera: Calliphoridae) [PDF]
Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Biomedicine, 2011 To carry out an experimental study with the main objective of mass rearing of sheep flies (Lucilia sericata).Hand collection and beef- or cattle liver-baited net traps were used for field fly sampling from April, 2010 to November, 2010. The samples collected from different places were placed in properly labeled tubes and sent to the Entomology ...
