Simple Summary The sterile insect technique is familiar to agricultural pest management
and is now being increasingly applied to mosquitoes as part of integrated vector …

Repetitive DNA, including transposable elements (TEs), is found throughout eukaryotic
genomes. Annotating and assembling the “repeatome” during genome-wide analysis often …

The pilot field studies here presented are part of a long-term research program aimed to
develop a cost-effective sterile insect technique (SIT) methodology to suppress Aedes …

Dengue, chikungunya and zika viruses are pathogens with an increasing global impact. In
the absence of an approved vaccine or therapy, their management relies on controlling the …

Background Understanding the dispersal dynamics of invasive mosquito species is
fundamental to improve vector surveillance and to target control efforts. Aedes albopictus …

The dispersal patterns of mosquito vectors are important drivers of vector-borne infectious
disease dynamics and understanding movement patterns is pivotal to devise successful …

The enormous burden placed on populations worldwide by mosquito-borne diseases, most
notably malaria and dengue, is currently being tackled by the use of insecticides sprayed in …

Among Aedes mosquitoes are species responsible for transmission of serious pathogens to
humans. To cope with the current threats to long-term effectiveness of the traditional vector …

A fundamental step in establishing a mass production system is the development of a larval
