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.

Population Suppression in Support of the Sterile Insect Technique

Sterile Insect Technique, 2021
Suppression or eradication of insect pest populations by the release of sterile insects is often dependent on supplementary methods of pest reduction to levels where the target pest population can be overflooded with sterile insects.
