Genetic Control of Mosquitoes [PDF]

open access: possible, 2010
The history of the genetic control of mosquitoes goes back about half a century, when Knipling (1959) realized that the fertility of monogamous female organisms could be readily compromized as a result of mating with a sterile male. Since that time, the development of the science and technology that supports this approach to mosquito control has ...

Genetic Control of Mosquitoes

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1972
Summary Genetic control of mosquitoes offers a possible ancillary method to traditional types of control. The principal mechanisms available in mosquitoes for genetic control include dominant, recessive and conditional lethals, behavioral mechanisms, sterility, cytoplasmic incompatibility, hybrid sterility, meiotic drive mechanisms and sex-ratio ...

MOSQUITO BEHAVIOR AND VECTOR CONTROL

Annual Review of Entomology, 2005
▪ Abstract  Effective indoor residual spraying against malaria vectors depends on whether mosquitoes rest indoors (i.e., endophilic behavior). This varies among species and is affected by insecticidal irritancy. Exophilic behavior has evolved in certain populations exposed to prolonged spraying programs.

Misguided strategy for mosquito control

Science, 2016
Aedes Aegypti , a mosquito native to Africa, has recently transmitted zika, chikungunya, and dengue to humans in Brazil ([ 1 ][1]). In response, several Brazilian municipalities have encouraged the use of non-native “mosquito fish” ( Poecilia spp.) to control A.

Predators and Pathogens for Mosquito Control

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1972
Summary Although recognizing the benefit derived from all predators in the reduction of mosquito populations in nature, the only predators that can be produced for mosquito control are a mosquito (Toxorhynchites), larvivorous fish (Gambusia affinis and Poecilia reticulata), and annual fish.

Difficulties in Mosquito Control

Journal of Economic Entomology, 1927
This paper is limited to a discussion of some of the problems that arise in the Mosquito Abatement Districts in the San Francisco Bay Region where reclamation and industrial projects have complicated a situation that was at first a comparatively simple one.

Larvicidal control of peridomestic mosquitoes

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1955
Abstract 1. (1) The problem of mosquito breeding in peridomestic water containers is discussed, with special reference to conditions in Eastern Nigeria. An attempt at control by sealing water pots using local materials which was successful for a time, but later frustrated by local social custom, is described.
