Construction of a Genetic Sexing Strain for <i>Aedes albopictus</i> : a promising tool for the development of sterilizing insect control strategies targeting the tiger mosquito

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Aedes albopictus is an invasive mosquito species of global medical concern as its distribution has recently expanded to Africa, the Americas and Europe. In the absence of prophylaxis protecting human populations from emerging arboviruses transmitted by this mosquito species, the most straightforward control measures rely on the suppression or manipulation of vector natural populations. A numbe...
