Improving the handling, transport and release of sterile male mosquitoes as part of an area-wide integrated pest management strategy

2020-01-01

Abstract excerpt

The global burden of vector-borne diseases continues to grow year on year. Diseases transmitted by mosquitoes lead to more than 700,000 deaths each year, with malaria alone accounting for almost half a million of the total deaths. Such statistics underline the urgency for alternative complementary control measures. The sterile insect technique (SIT) is one of several genetic control measures routinely used through...
