Abstract | Full text | PDF | PubMed | Cited on BioMed Central |  Editor’s summary

Preliminary observations indicate that realistic and repeatable observations of anopheline behaviour are obtainable within the SFS, and that habitat and climatic features representative of field conditions can be simulated within it

Towards a sterile insect technique field release of Anopheles arabiensis mosquitoes in Sudan: Irradiation, transportation, and field cage experimentation

Michelle EH Helinski, Mo'awia M Hassan, Waleed M El-Motasim, Colin A Malcolm, Bart GJ Knols, Badria El-Sayed Malaria Journal 2008, 7:65 (25 April 2008)

Abstract | Full text | PDF | PubMed | Cited on BioMed Central |  Editor’s summary

Lessons learned from previous SIT releases must not be forgotten when considering applying the technique to mosquito control. Questions related to the impact of irradiation and transportation on males competitiveness are of great importance and this paper shows the difficulties in carrying out such studies under conditions as natural as possible.
