Abundance and Seasonality of Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) in Two Suburban Localities of South Mexico, With Implications for Wolbachia (Rickettsiales: Rickettsiaceae)-Carrying Male Releases for Population Suppression. [PDF]

J Med Entomol, 2021
We conducted a baseline characterization of the abundance and seasonality of Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus, 1762)—a vector of dengue, chikungunya, and Zika—in two suburban localities of Yucatan, Mexico, as the first step in the implementation of an integrated ...

A Comparative Assessment of Self-limiting Genetic Control Strategies for Population Suppression. [PDF]

Mol Biol Evol
Genetic control strategies are promising solutions for control of pest populations and invasive species. Methods utilizing repeated releases of males such as Sterile Insect Technique (SIT), Release of Insects carrying a Dominant Lethal (RIDL), self ...

A genetically encoded anti-CRISPR protein constrains gene drive spread and prevents population suppression. [PDF]

Nat Commun, 2021
CRISPR-based gene drives offer promising means to reduce the burden of pests and vector-borne diseases. These techniques consist of releasing genetically modified organisms carrying CRISPR-Cas nucleases designed to bias their inheritance and rapidly ...

Genetic sexing strains for the population suppression of the mosquito vector Aedes aegypti. [PDF]

Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci, 2021
Aedes aegypti is the primary vector of arthropod-borne viruses including dengue, chikungunya and Zika. Vector population control methods are reviving to impede disease transmission.

A CRISPR-Cas9 gene drive targeting doublesex causes complete population suppression in caged Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes. [PDF]

Nat Biotechnol, 2018
In the human malaria vector Anopheles gambiae, the gene doublesex (Agdsx) encodes two alternatively spliced transcripts, dsx-female (AgdsxF) and dsx-male (AgdsxM), that control differentiation of the two sexes.

Combining sterile and incompatible insect techniques for the population suppression of <i>Drosophila suzukii</i>. [PDF]

J Pest Sci (2004), 2020
The spotted wing Drosophila, Drosophila suzukii, has recently invaded Europe and the Americas, and it is a major threat for a wide variety of commercial soft fruits both in open field and greenhouse production systems. D.

Genetic Control of Mosquitoes: population suppression strategies [PDF]

Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo, 2012
Over the last two decades, morbidity and mortality from malaria and dengue fever among other pathogens are an increasing Public Health problem. The increase in the geographic distribution of vectors is accompanied by the emergence of viruses and diseases

Evolution of male-killer suppression in a natural population. [PDF]

PLoS Biology, 2006
Male-killing bacteria are widespread in arthropods, and can profoundly alter the reproductive biology of their host species. Here we detail the first case of complete suppression of a male killer.

Stability analysis in a mosquito population suppression model [PDF]

Journal of Biological Dynamics, 2020
In this work, we study a non-autonomous differential equation model for the interaction of wild and sterile mosquitoes. Suppose that the number of sterile mosquitoes released in the field is a given nonnegative continuous function.

Population Suppression in Support of the Sterile Insect Technique [PDF]

Sterile Insect Technique, 2021
Suppression or eradication of insect pest populations by the release of sterile insects is often dependent on supplementary methods of pest reduction to levels where the target pest population can be overflooded with sterile insects.
