The Effects of Age at First Mating and Release Ratios on the Mating Competitiveness of Gamma Sterilised Aedes albopictus Males under Semi Field Conditions

Résumé

Background: The success of the Sterile Insect Technique for area-wide vector control relies crucially on the ability of sterile males to outcompete their wild counterparts for mating with wild females. Competitiveness tests are commonly performed for assessing quality sterile males intended for field release programs, but there are few reports on the optimal age and ratio for sterile Aedes albopictus male release in a SIT program.
