Vector control methods are considered effective in averting dengue transmission. However,
several factors may modify their impact. Of these controls, chemical methods, in the long run …

In this perspective, I discuss the great eras of vector control, centring on Aedes aegypti, the
primary vector of dengue, Zika and several other viruses. Since the discovery and …

In this work, we extend existing models of vector-borne diseases by including density-
dependent rates and some existing control mechanisms to decrease the disease burden in …

In this paper, we propose a sex-structured entomological model that serves as a basis for
design of control strategies relying on releases of sterile male mosquitoes (Aedes spp) and …

Mosquitoes are responsible for the transmission of many diseases such as dengue fever,
zika or chigungunya. One way to control the spread of these diseases is to use the sterile …

More than three thousand million people live with the risk of malaria. Due to the widespread
resistance of mosquitoes to insecticides and of parasites to chemotherapies, previous gains …

Vector/pest control is essential to reduce the risk of vector‐borne diseases or losses in
crops. Among all biological control tools, the sterile insect technique (SIT), which consists of …

In this paper, we construct and analyze a reaction–diffusion hybrid model incorporating
impulsive control and periodic evolution domain in Wolbachia-infected and wild mosquito …

The control of a mosquito population using the sterile insect technique is considered.
Building on a model-based approach, where the control input is the release rate of sterilized …

The sterile insect technique (SIT) is a biological control technique that can be used either to
eliminate or decay a wild mosquito population under a given threshold to reduce the …
