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).

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.

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.

Exploring protandry and pupal size selection for Aedes albopictus sex separation [PDF]
, 2018 Background: We explored the possibility to improve male/female separation (sexing) in Aedes albopictus by selection of two strains, one toward increasing sex dimorphism and another toward increasing protandry.

Microbial symbionts : a resource for the management of insect-related problems [PDF]
, 2011 Microorganisms establish with their animal hosts close interactions. They are involved in many aspects of the host life, physiology and evolution, including nutrition, reproduction, immune homeostasis, defence and speciation.

Postembryonic RNAi in Heterorhabditis bacteriophora: a nematode insect parasite and host for insect pathogenic symbionts [PDF]
, 2007 Background: Heterorhabditis bacteriophora is applied throughout the world for the biological control of insects and is an animal model to study interspecies interactions, e.g. mutualism, parasitism and vector-borne disease. H. bacteriophora nematodes are

The Effect of X-Rays on Cytological Traits of Tuta absoluta (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) [PDF]
, 2016 The tomato leafminer, Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) is one of the most important pests of tomato. With the purpose of developing environmentally friendly control tactics such as the inherited sterility (IS) technique against this ...

Implementation of control strategies for sterile insect techniques
Mathematical Biosciences, 2019 In this paper, we propose a sex-structured entomological model that serves as a basis for design of control strategies relying on releases of sterile male mosquitoes (Aedes spp) and aiming at elimination of the wild vector population in some target locality.
