Approximating Optimal Release in a Deterministic Model for the Sterile Insect Technique [PDF]

International Journal of Agronomy, 2016
Cost/benefit analyses are essential to support management planning and decisions before launching any pest control program. In particular, applications of the sterile insect technique (SIT) are often prevented by the projected economic burden associated with rearing processes.

Impact of Screwworm Eradication Programmes Using the Sterile Insect Technique

Sterile Insect Technique, 2021
The use of the sterile insect technique (SIT) in New World screwworm Cochliomyia hominivorax (Coquerel) eradication programmes has been successfully demonstrated. As a result of a 45-year area-wide campaign, suppression and eradication have been achieved

Impact of Moth Suppression/Eradication Programmes Using the Sterile Insect Technique or Inherited Sterility

Sterile Insect Technique, 2021
Numerous lepidopteran species have been investigated as candidates for control using the sterile insect technique (SIT) or inherited sterility (IS). However to date only two programmes are operational — the pink bollworm containment programme in the San ...

Effect of Wolbachia Infection and Adult Food on the Sexual Signaling of Males of the Mediterranean Fruit Fly Ceratitis capitata

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

Investigations into the characterization, degradation, and applications of biodegradable polymers by mass spectrometry

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Biodegradable polymers have been getting more and more attention because of their contribution to the plastic pollution environmental issues and to move towards a circular economy. Nevertheless, biodegradable materials still exhibit various disadvantages restraining a widespread use in the market.

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

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

Review of the role of sterile insect technique within biologically‐based pest control – An appraisal of existing regulatory frameworks

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, 2022
Sterile insect technique (SIT) is increasingly sought after as a sustainable insect control technique. Originally, SIT pursued the eradication of a target population and was used in governmental/public area‐wide integrated pest management (IPM) programs.

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.
