Boosting the sterile insect technique to control mosquitoes
2014
Bouyer, Jérémy | Lefrançois, Thierry
Mosquitoes are vectors of major diseases. Auto-dissemination recently proved very efficient to control Aedes species, using adult females contaminated with dissemination stations of juvenile hormone to treat breeding habitats, but cannot be used at large scales. Here we propose to combine it to the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) to create a new control concept, named ‘boosted SIT’ that might enable the area-wide eradication of mosquitoes and many other vectors and insect pests.
