Optimizing larval mass-rearing techniques for Aedes mosquitoes: enhancing production and quality for genetic control strategies [PDF]

Parasite
The quantity and quality of laboratory-reared insects are pivotal for the success of any sterile male-release program. Optimizing larval mass-rearing methods to enhance both production and quality in Aedes mosquitoes is essential to meet the growing ...

Cost-effective and efficient factitious prey for mass production of Neoseiulus cucumeris (Acari: Phytoseiidae): assessing its quality compared with natural prey

Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control, 2022
Background Using alternative diets for the mass production of phytoseiid predatory mites may facilitate their cost-effective rearing. Factitious prey is often used as an alternative food source for mass rearing of generalist phytoseiids.

Reducing the cost and assessing the performance of a novel adult mass-rearing cage for the dengue, chikungunya, yellow fever and Zika vector, Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus).

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2019
INTRODUCTION:The widespread emergence of resistance to insecticides used to control adult Aedes mosquitoes has made traditional control strategies inadequate for the reduction of various vector populations. Therefore, complementary vector control methods,
