Stage-structured discrete-time models for interacting wild and sterile mosquitoes with beverton-holt survivability

Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2019
The sterile insect technique (SIT) is an effective weapon to prevent transmission of mosquito-borne diseases, in which sterile mosquitoes are released to reduce or eradicate the wild mosquito population.

Evaluation of radiation sensitivity and mating performance of Glossina brevipalpis males. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2017
BACKGROUND:Area-wide integrated pest management strategies that include a sterile insect technique component have been successfully used to eradicate tsetse fly populations in the past.

The sterile insect technique used as a barrier control against reinfestation

, 2020
The sterile insect technique consists in massive release of sterilized males in the aim to reduce the size of mosquitoes population or even eradicate it. In this work, we investigate the feasability of using the sterile insect technique as a barrier against reinvasion.

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).

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

Atom 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.

Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) against Aedes Species Mosquitoes: A Roadmap and Good Practice Framework for Designing, Implementing and Evaluating Pilot Field Trials

Insects, 2021
Simple Summary The sterile insect technique is familiar to agricultural pest management and is now being increasingly applied to mosquitoes as part of integrated vector management programs.

The sterile insect technique: an international framework to facilitate transboundary shipments of sterile insects.

Revue scientifique et technique, 2022
The sterile insect technique (SIT) has been successfully used since the 1950s as part of an integrated pest management approach in large-scale programmes to prevent, contain, suppress and eradicate key insect pests in many countries throughout the world.

Role of Population and Behavioural Ecology in the Sterile Insect Technique

Sterile Insect Technique, 2021
The principles of population and behavioural ecology in relation to the application of the sterile insect technique (SIT) for eradication of a pest are explained. These include: (1) a logistic population model for estimation of the population fluctuation

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.

Aedes albopictus Adult Medium Mass Rearing for SIT Program Development

Insects, 2019
For the production of several hundred thousands of Aedes albopictus sterile males for the implementation of a Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) program, no costly mass-rearing equipment is needed during the initial phases, as optimized rearing at laboratory
