A new approach to the definition of seroconversion following vaccination in a population with high background antibody concentrations.

, 2007
Licensure of meningitis vaccines is increasingly being made on the basis of safety and immunogenicity. For meningococcal vaccines, a measure of immunogenicity is seroconversion, usually defined as a four-fold increase in rSBA titre.

Implementing the sterile insect technique with RNA interference – a review [PDF]

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, 2017
AbstractWe review RNA interference (RNAi) of insect pests and its potential for implementing sterile insect technique (SIT)‐related control. The molecular mechanisms that support RNAi in pest species are reviewed in detail, drawing on literature from a range of species including Drosophila melanogaster Meigen and Homo sapiens L.

Biopesticides improve efficiency of the sterile insect technique for controlling mosquito-driven dengue epidemics [PDF]

, 2019
Various mosquito control methods use factory raised males to suppress vector densities. But the efficiency of these methods is currently insufficient to prevent epidemics of arbovirus diseases such as dengue, chikungunya or Zika.
