Implementing the sterile insect technique with RNA interference – a review [PDF]

, 2017
RNA interference (RNAi) of insect pests is reviewed and its potential for implementing Sterile Insect Technique (SIT)-related control is considered. The molecular mechanisms that support RNAi in pest species are reviewed in detail, drawing on literature ...

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.

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 ...

Low‐oxygen hormetic conditioning improves field performance of sterile insects by inducing beneficial plasticity

Evolutionary Applications, 2021
As part of sterile insect technique (SIT) programs, irradiation can effectively induce sterility in insects by damaging germline genomic DNA. However, irradiation also induces other off‐target side effects that reduce the quality and performance of ...

Does severe hypoxia during irradiation of Aedes aegypti pupae improve sterile male performance?

Parasites & Vectors, 2022
Background The yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti, vectors several pathogens responsible for human diseases. As a result, this mosquito species is a priority for control by mosquito control districts in Florida.

Effects of Gamma Irradiation on the Fecundity, Fertility, and Longevity of the Invasive Stink Bug Pest Bagrada hilaris (Burmeister) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae)

Insects, 2022
The bagrada bug, Bagrada hilaris, is an invasive insect pest in the family Brassicaceae that causes economically important damage to crops. It was originally present in Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, and was reported as invasive in the southwestern ...

The sterile insect technique in a predator-prey system with monotone functional response [PDF]

, 2016
In this paper, we focus on the sterile insect release technique (SIRT) in a predator--prey system with monotone functional response. Unlike most of the existing modeling studies in this field that mainly deal with the pest population only, we have ...

Mark–Release–Recapture (MRR) of Sterile Male Aedes albopictus (Skuse) in Sri Lanka: Field Performance of Sterile Males and Estimation of the Wild Mosquito Population Density

Insects
Dengue is an important mosquito-borne disease in Sri Lanka. The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) is an environment-friendly and novel method that can suppress dengue vector mosquitoes in Sri Lanka.

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.

Demonstration of resistance to satyrization behavior in Aedes aegypti from La Réunion island

Parasite, 2020
Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus are competent vectors of arboviruses such as dengue and chikungunya viruses which co-exist in some areas, including La Réunion island, Indian Ocean.
