Irradiated mosquitoes are raised in a laboratory where the male mosquitoes are separated from the females. Then, radiation found in X-rays and Gamma rays is used to sterilize male mosquitoes. Females that mate with sterile males lay eggs that do not hatch, which reduces the number of mosquitoes within the specific area. Process of Irradiation:
Radiation biology of mosquitoes. It is concluded that the optimal radiation dose chosen for insects that are to be released during an SIT programme should ensure a balance between induced sterility of males and their field competitiveness, with competitiveness being determined under (semi-) field conditions.

25 de abr. de 2008 · Background The work described in this article forms part of a study to suppress a population of the malaria vector Anopheles arabiensis in Northern State, Sudan, with the Sterile Insect Technique. No data have previously been collected on the irradiation and transportation of anopheline mosquitoes in Africa, and the first series of attempts to do this in Sudan are reported here. In addition ...
22 de fev. de 2024 · A 3D-printed phase change material based coolable canister was developed which can compact, immobilize and hold around 100,000 adult mosquitoes during mass radio sterilization procedures. The mass irradiation and compaction treatments affected the survival and the flight ability of Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti adult males but the use of ...
The SIT is an environment-friendly insect pest management method by which (male) insects are made infertile through irradiation and mass released into a target area. When these sterile males mate with wild females, there are no offspring. The systematic and repeated release of sterile males reduces the target wild insect population over time.
24 de jul. de 2019 · By Siobhán Dunphy - 24.07.2019. Last week, scientists reported the near eradication of disease-carrying mosquitoes from two separate islands in Ganzhou, China. The findings were published on 17 July in the journal Nature (1). Asian tiger mosquitoes (Aedes albopictus) are among the world’s most invasive mosquito species, carrying diseases ...
effects of chilling and exposure to nitrogen on the irradiation dose-response of Aedes mosquitoes, and their downstream effects on some male quality parameters including longevity and flight ability.
