Boosting the sterile insect technique to control mosquitoes [PDF]

Trends in Parasitology, 2014
Mosquitoes are vectors of major diseases. Auto-dissem-ination recently proved very efficient to control Aedes species, using adult females contaminated with dissem-ination stations of juvenile hormone to treat breeding habitats, but cannot be used at ...

Using geographic information systems and spatial modelling in area-wide integrated pest management programmes that integrate the sterile insect technique [PDF]

, 2021
Geographic information systems (GIS) and spatial modelling are crucial for designing, implementing, and optimizing area-wide programmes of insect and/or disease control. This chapter provides a basic introduction to the science of GIS, Global Positioning

Formulation of Artificial Diets for Mass-Rearing Eldana saccharina Walker (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) Using the Carcass Milling Technique

Insects, 2022
The carcass milling technique (CMT) formulates specific diets from nutrient analyses of species to be reared and their natural host plants. The first of four diets developed used the minimum ingredient specifications (MS) of published diets for Eldana ...
