Preventing the establishment of invasive exotic mosquitoes
Bouyer J., Iyaloo D.P., Baldet T.. 2025. Trends in Parasitology, 41 (8) : p. 617-619.
The boosted sterile insect technique, which involves releasing sterile males treated with a biocide such as pyriproxyfen to contaminate breeding sites, has been shown to be effective against Aedes vectors. This approach could prevent the establishment of invasive mosquitoes sharing the same larval habitats, such as Anopheles stephensi.
