Oxitec’s Vector Control Solution. A Paradigm Shift in Mosquito Control

 


 

Back to the future: the sterile insect technique against mosquito disease vectors.

“With the global burden of mosquito-borne diseases increasing, and some conventional vector control tools losing effectiveness, the sterile insect technique (SIT) is a potential new tool in the arsenal. Equipment and protocols have been developed and validated for efficient mass-rearing, irradiation and release of Aedines and Anophelines that could be useful for several control approaches. Assessment of male quality is becoming more sophisticated, and several groups are well advanced in pilot site selection and population surveillance.”
