Optimization of irradiation dose to Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus in a sterile insect technique program.
The sterile insect technique (SIT) may offer a means to control the transmission of mosquito borne diseases. SIT involves the release of male insects that have been sterilized by exposure to ionizing radiation. We determined the effects of different doses of radiation on the survival and reproductiv...
