Mosquito-borne diseases represent a major threat to humankind. Recently, the incidence of malaria has stopped decreasing while that of dengue is increasing exponentially. Alternative mosquito-control methods are urgently needed. The sterile insect technique (SIT) has seen significant developments recently and may play an important role. However, testing and implementing SIT for vector control is challenging, and a phased conditional approach (PCA) is recommended, that is, advancement to the next phase depends on completion of activities in the previous one. We herewith present a PCA to test the SIT against mosquitoes within an area-wide-integrated pest-management programme, taking into account the experience gained with plant and livestock pests and the recent developments of the technique against mosquitoes.
蚊媒传染病对人类构成重大威胁。最近，疟疾的发病率不再下降，而登革热的发病率却呈指数级增长。急需替代的蚊虫控制方法。最近，不育昆虫技术（SIT）取得了重大进展，可能会发挥重要作用。然而，测试和实施 SIT 进行病媒控制具有挑战性，建议采用分阶段有条件方法（PCA），即进入下一阶段取决于前一阶段活动的完成情况。在此，我们提出了一个 PCA 来测试针对病媒蚊的 SIT，该方案考虑到了在区域综合虫害管理计划中针对植物和牲畜害虫的经验以及针对蚊子的技术的最新进展。
