Insects, 2022 Sexual signaling is a fundamental component of sexual behavior of Ceratitis capitata that highly determines males’ mating success. Nutritional status and age are dominant factors known to affect males’ signaling performance and define the female decision

Stage-structured models for interacting wild and sterile mosquitoes
上海师范大学学报. 自然科学版, 2014 Using the sterile insect technique,in which sterile mosquitoes are released to reduce or eradicate the wild mosquito population,is an effective weapon to prevent transmission of mosquito-borne diseases.To study the impact of the sterile insect technique ...

The sterile insect technique is protected from evolution of mate discrimination [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Background The sterile insect technique (SIT) has been used to suppress and even extinguish pest insect populations. The method involves releasing artificially reared insects (usually males) that, when mating with wild individuals, sterilize the broods ...

Evolutionary biology and genetic techniques for insect control [PDF]
, 2015 The requirement to develop new techniques for insect control that minimize negative environmental impacts has never been more pressing. Here we discuss population suppression and population replacement technologies. These include sterile insect technique,

Laboratory colonisation and genetic bottlenecks in the tsetse fly Glossina pallidipes [PDF]
, 2014 Background The IAEA colony is the only one available for mass rearing of Glossina pallidipes, a vector of human and animal African trypanosomiasis in eastern Africa. This colony is the source for Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) programs in East Africa.

The influence of late-stage pupal irradiation and increased irradiated:un-irradiated male ratio on mating competitiveness of the malaria mosquito Anopheles arabiensis Patton [PDF]
, 2009 Competitiveness of released males in genetic control programmes is of critical importance. In this paper, we explored two scenarios to compensate for the loss of mating competitiveness after pupal stage irradiation in males of the malaria mosquito ...

A One-Sided Competition Mathematical Model for the Sterile Insect Technique
Complexity, 2020 We study a simple mathematical model describing the dynamics of a wild-type pest insects population experiencing competition from sterile insects (one-sided competition).

Sterile Insect Technique: Lessons From the Past
Journal of Medical Entomology, 2021 Abstract When E.F. Knipling conceived of the release of sexually sterile insects to suppress wild populations, he laid down several fundamental qualities that characterized suitable target species—some of which mosquitoes generally violate—including high reproductive rates and large population numbers.
