Simple Summary The Asian tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus) is an important invasive
species of medical concern, which could be successfully suppressed by including the sterile …

A fundamental step in establishing a mass production system is the development of a larval
diet that promotes high adult performance at a reasonable cost. To identify a suitable larval …

Critical to successful application of the sterile insect technique against Aedes albopictus
(Skuse) is the development of an efficient and standardized rearing protocol to be employed …

The mosquito larval rearing unit developed at the Insect Pest Control Laboratory (IPCL) of
the FAO/IAEA Joint Division was evaluated for its potential use for Aedes albopictus (Skuse …

Background Larval nutrition, particularly diet quality, is a key driver in providing sufficient
numbers of high quality mosquitoes for biological control strategies such as the sterile insect …

Background Standardized larval rearing units for mosquito production are essential for the
establishment of a mass-rearing facility. Two larval rearing units, developed respectively by …

To set up a sterile male technique program to control Aedes albopictus (Skuse) in areas in
northern Italy, a pilot mass-rearing facility is under development. For this purpose …

Larval diet quality and rearing conditions have a direct and irreversible effect on adult traits.
Therefore, the current study was carried out to optimize the larval diet for mass rearing of …

Larval diet is one of the key factors in establishing a mass-rearing/production system for
Wolbachia-based approaches that promotes high-quality and high-performance adult …

Background. Aedes aegypti is a major vector of arboviruses that may be controlled on an
area‐wide basis, using novel approaches such as Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) and …
