A field trial of suppression of Aedes aegypti population by releasing sterile males into a domestic population
Parassitologia.
1977 Jan-Aug.
Abstract
After release of an average of 1260 sterile male each day for a period of sixty two days, the average fertility of Aedas aegypti population remained above 50% in Ererwani village. It is concluded that the irradiated sterile males may not be suitable as a control measure, despite the fact that irradiation was carried out in nitrogen atmosphere.
