Age-Dependent Variation in Longevity, Fecundity and Fertility of Gamma-Irradiated Bagrada hilaris (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae): Insights for a Sustainable SIT Program

Insects
Bagrada hilaris is an invasive stink bug causing important yield losses in Brassica crops. It originates from India, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and South Africa and is reported as invasive in several southwestern US states, Hawaii, Mexico, Chile and

STERILE INSECT TECHNIQUE TO COMBAT DENGUE

LIFE: International Journal of Health and Life-Sciences, 2016
Global warming and globalization indicate the next biggest challenge is zoonotic diseases. Dengue is one of the fastest growing tropical pandemic in the world. There are no approved vaccines for the dengue virus. Prevention thus depends on control of and protection from the bites of the mosquito that transmits it, the dengue mosquito, and Aedes aegypti.

Mathematical modelling for practical application of sterile insect technique [PDF]

, 2019
Vector control, like sterile insect technique (SIT), is essential to reduce the risk of vector-borne diseases [3]. SIT control generally consists of massive releases of sterile insects in the targeted area in order to reach elimination or to lower the ...

Sterile Insect Technique for Suppressing and Eradicating Insect Population: 55 Years and Counting [PDF]

, 1998
The sterile insect technique (SIT) has a long, interesting, but. controversial history. The concept, operation, and outcomes of SIT programs have been criticized heavily and acceptance of this areawide approach to insect management is minimal.

Genetic Basis of the Sterile Insect Technique

, 2006
The use of the sterile insect technique (SIT) for insect control relies on the introduction of sterility in the females of the wild population. This sterility is produced following the mating of these females with released males carrying, in their sperm, dominant lethal mutations that have been induced by ionizing radiation. The reasons why the SIT can

Upscaling irradiation protocols of Aedes albopictus pupae within an SIT program in Reunion Island

Scientific Reports
The implementation of the sterile insect technique against Aedes albopictus relies on many parameters, in particular on the success of the sterilization of males to be released into the target area in overflooding numbers to mate with wild females ...
