Strategies to mitigate establishment under the Wolbachia incompatible insect technique by Soh, Stacy, Ho, Soon Hoe, Ong, Janet, Seah, Annabel, Dickens, Borame Sue, Tan, Ken Wei, Koo, Joel Ruihan, Cook, Alex R., Sim, Shuzhen, Tan, Cheong Huat, Ng, Lee Ching, Lim, Jue Tao

“…Regular releases of male Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes can lead to the suppression of mosquito populations, thereby reducing the risk of transmission of vector-borne diseases such as dengue. However, due to imperfect sex-sorting under IIT, fertile Wolbachia-infected female mosquitoes may potentially be unintentionally released into the environment, which may result in replacement and failure to suppress the mosquito populations. …”
