Survival-Larval Density Relationships in the Field and Their Implications for Control of Container-Dwelling Aedes Mosquitoes

open access: yesInsects, 2022
Population density can affect survival, growth, development time, and adult size and fecundity, which are collectively known as density-dependent effects.

Stage-structured models for interacting wild and sterile mosquitoes

open access: yes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 ...

Late-acting dominant lethal genetic systems and mosquito control. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
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]

open access: yesProceedings of the 23rd ACM SIGKDD International Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining, 2017
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.

Current Status and Recent Achievements of the Sterile Insect Technique Program Against Dengue Vector, Aedes aegypti, in Indonesia

open access: yesAtom Indonesia, 2019
Given the facts that Indonesia has suitable environment condition to survival, reproduction and development of the principal mosquito vector for dengue virus, Aedes aegypti, the transmission of dengue virus does routinely occur every year.

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

open access: yesPeerJ, 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 ...

Implementation of control strategies for sterile insect techniques

open access: yesMathematical 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.

Historical applications of induced sterilisation in field populations of mosquitoes. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Research on sterile mosquito technology from 1955 to the 1980s provided a substantial body of knowledge on propagation and release of sterile mosquitoes.
