Could malaria mosquitoes be controlled by periodic releases of transgenic mosquitocidal <i>Metarhizium pingshaense</i> fungus? A mathematical modeling approach
2025-05-31
Abstract excerpt
Insect pathogenic fungi offer a promising alternative to chemical insecticides for controlling insecticide resistant mosquitoes. One proposed method involves releasing male Anopheles mosquitoes contaminated with transgenic Metarhizium pingshaense (Met-Hybrid), to lethally infecting females during mating. This study presents a novel deterministic mathematical model to evaluate the impact of this control approach...
