Mathematical Modelling of Sterile Insect Technology for Mosquito Control
Reduction of mosquito populations will, at least, reduce substantially the transmission of malaria disease. One potential method of achieving this reduction is the environmentally-friendly population control method known as the Sterile Insect Control (SIT) method. The SIT method has so far not been widely used against insect disease vectors, such as mosquitoes, because of various practical diff...
متن کاملDifferent strategies for cancer treatment: Mathematical modelling
We formulate and analyse a mathematical model describing immune response to avascular tumour under the influence of immunotherapy and chemotherapy and their combinations as well as vaccine treatments. The effect of vaccine therapy is considered as a parametric perturbation of the model. In the case of a weak immune response, neither immunotherapy nor chemotherapy is found to cause tumour regres...
متن کاملWaves of extinction from sterile insect release.
Employing theoretical models, we show that the sterile insect release method (SIRM) can give rise to traveling waves of fertile insects. The velocity of these waves depends critically upon the density of sterile insects (and thus upon the rate at which sterile individuals are being released into the environment). When the sterile density is sufficiently low, the traveling wave advances, giving ...
متن کاملMathematical model to assess the control of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes by the sterile insect technique.
We propose a mathematical model to assess the effects of irradiated (or transgenic) male insects introduction in a previously infested region. The release of sterile male insects aims to displace gradually the natural (wild) insect from the habitat. We discuss the suitability of this release technique when applied to peri-domestically adapted Aedes aegypti mosquitoes which are transmissors of Y...
متن کاملThe Smart Aerial Release Machine, a Universal System for Applying the Sterile Insect Technique
BACKGROUND Beyond insecticides, alternative methods to control insect pests for agriculture and vectors of diseases are needed. Management strategies involving the mass-release of living control agents have been developed, including genetic control with sterile insects and biological control with parasitoids, for which aerial release of insects is often required. Aerial release in genetic contr...
