Large indoor cage study of the suppression of stable Aedes aegypti populations by the release of thiotepa-sterilised males

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2014
The sterile insect technique (SIT) is a promising pest control method in terms of efficacy and environmental compatibility. In this study, we determined the efficacy of thiotepa-sterilised males in reducing the target Aedes aegypti populations.

STERILE INSECT TECHNIQUE TO COMBAT DENGUE

LIFE: International Journal of Health and Life-Sciences, 2016
Global warming and globalization indicate the next biggest challenge is zoonotic diseases. Dengue is one of the fastest growing tropical pandemic in the world. There are no approved vaccines for the dengue virus. Prevention thus depends on control of and protection from the bites of the mosquito that transmits it, the dengue mosquito, and Aedes aegypti.

Resistome flow in global landfill systems

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Global landfill systems represent key hubs of resistome, serving as dynamic reservoirs and amplifiers through plasmid‐driven gene mobility. Waste flows and environmental pathways sustain the transboundary resistome networks, accelerating resistance dissemination across ecosystems.

Comparison of Efficiency of BG-Sentinel Traps Baited with Mice, Mouse-Litter, and CO2 Lures for Field Sampling of Male and Female Aedes albopictus Mosquitoes

Insects, 2017
Determining the abundance and distribution of male mosquitoes in the wild and establishing species seasonality in candidate pilot sites is of particular interest with respect to the use of the sterile-male technique. With the knowledge that using mice as
