Effects of Chilling and Anoxia on the Irradiation Dose-Response in Adult Aedes Mosquitoes

H. Yamada, H. Maiga, C. Kraupa, W. Mamai, N. S. Bimbile Somda, A. Abrahim, T. Wallner, J. Bouyer

Summary: The success of the sterile insect technique (SIT) depends on the sterility and mating success of the factory-reared sterile males. The quality of these males can be improved by reducing stress factors encountered during rearing, handling, and irradiation. Reliable and standard irradiation protocols are necessary to achieve consistent sterility levels. Immobilization methods like chilling and nitrogen exposure are commonly used, but they have varying effects on the irradiation dose-response and male quality parameters. Chilling does not harm longevity and flight ability when carefully controlled, while irradiation in nitrogen reduces sterility induction. However, exposure to nitrogen negatively impacts flight ability. These findings will help in standardizing and optimizing irradiation protocols for SIT to control medically significant mosquito populations.

Survival-Larval Density Relationships in the Field and Their Implications for Control of Container-Dwelling Aedes Mosquitoes

Katherine G. G. Evans, Zoey R. R. Neale, Brendan Holly, Cecilia C. C. Canizela, Steven A. A. Juliano

Summary: Through field studies, this research found that there is a negative relationship between the number of Aedes mosquito larvae and their survival rate to adulthood. In some cases, increasing larval mortality rate may actually result in higher production of adult mosquitoes. Therefore, killing mosquito larvae cannot always be assumed to reduce the number of adult mosquitoes.

Effects of host extinction and vector preferences on vector-borne disease risk in phylogenetically structured host-hector communities

Charles L. Nunn, Alexander Q. Vining, Debapriyo Chakraborty, Michael H. Reiskind, Hillary S. Young

Summary: Using a theoretical model, researchers studied the impact of phylogeny and extinction on network structural characteristics relevant to disease transmission in disturbed environments. Their simulations showed that extinction may reduce disease prevalence in disturbed communities, but systematic patterns in species loss or changes in abundance could counteract these effects in real communities. Unexpectedly, the effects of phylogenetic signal in host and vector traits were weak, only becoming important when these traits had similar phylogenetic signals or when both traits varied.
