Stage-structured models for interacting wild and sterile mosquitoes
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 ...

Late-acting dominant lethal genetic systems and mosquito control. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Reduction or elimination of vector populations will tend to reduce or eliminate transmission of vector-borne diseases. One potential method for environmentally-friendly, species-specific population control is the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT)

Learning to Count Mosquitoes for the Sterile Insect Technique [PDF]
Mosquito-borne illnesses such as dengue, chikungunya, and Zika are major global health problems, which are not yet addressable with vaccines and must be countered by reducing mosquito populations. The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) is a promising alternative to pesticides; however, effective SIT relies on minimal releases of female insects.

SIT-ia: A Software-Hardware System to Improve Male Sorting Efficacy for the Sterile Insect Technique. [PDF]
Invasive insects can cause significant economic impacts to agriculture worldwide and impact human health. Traditional pest management methods that include chemical insecticides have raised increasing environmental and health concerns, prompting the need ...

The sterile insect technique is protected from evolution of mate discrimination [PDF]
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 ...

Implementation of control strategies for sterile insect techniques
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.
