Increased biting rate and decreased Wolbachia density in irradiated Aedes mosquitoes

Abstract Background Releasing considerable numbers of radiation-sterilized males is a promising strategy to suppress mosquito vectors. However, releases may also include small percentages of biting females, which translate to non-negligible numbers when releases are large. Currently, the effects of...
