Comparative field cage tests of the population suppressing efficiency of three genetic control systems for Aedes Aegypti.

Abstract

Cycling populations of Aedes aegypti were set up in cages and managed in such a way that the populations had a maximum of threefold recovery potential in response to control measures. Into three such populations daily releases were made of males which had been chemosterilised, or were double translocation heterozygotes (T1T3) or T1T3 with sex ration distortion (DT1T3). Eradication of the populations was achieved with all cases, but the rate of suppression was markedly slower with T1T3 than the other two systems, with which the rates were similar. T1T3 and DT1T3 releases introduced considerable inherited genetic loads into the target populations. The results were in general agreement with computer predictions.
