“…It is well documented that mosquito male pupa age at irradiation (calculated from pupation to irradiation moment) is an important factor, playing a signiÞcant role on the sterility level and the quality of produced adults , Dame and Schmidt 1962, Darrow 1968, Wijeyaratne et al 1977, Andreasen and Curtis 2005, Helinski and Knols 2008.…”

“…It has been demonstrated that the age of the pupae when exposed to ␥ rays strongly affects their sensitivity to radiation in terms of somatic damages and residual fertility. On different mosquitoes species, the irradiation of old pupae produced sterile adult males with better mating performance compared with males obtained from young irradiated pupae (Wijeyaratne et al 1977, Andreasen and Curtis 2005, Helinski et al 2006, Helinski and Knols 2008. To our knowledge, no dosimetry study had been previously performed on Ae.…”

In Italy, Aedes albopictus Skuse is currently recognized as the most dangerous mosquito, and as currently applied conventional control methods gave unsatisfactory results, we are developing alternative strategies such as the sterile insect technique. To find the optimal sterilizing dose, male pupae were exposed to different doses of gamma rays in the range 20-80 Gy, generated by a Cesium-137 source. The effects of male pupal age at irradiation and gamma ray dose on adult male emergence, sterility level, longevity, and mating capacity were evaluated, and dose-response curves of residual fertility were calculated. Radiation tests were also performed on female pupae to observe their reproductive capacity in case of accidental release. Results confirmed that the age at which the male pupa is irradiated is an important factor that affects the longevity of the adult, whereas the effect of age on the induced sterility level is less pronounced. When male pupae older than 30 h were irradiated, the longevity of the adults was not affected by doses up to 40 Gy. The 40-Gy dose appeared sufficient to induce high level of sterility (>99%) at any male pupal age for all the strains tested. The duration of coupling and the number of mated females per male appeared to be affected by the radiation received by male pupae only at doses higher than 40 Gy. The female pupae were more sensitive to radiation than male pupae, with strong reduction in fecundity and fertility at 20 Gy and complete suppression of oviposition at higher doses.

“…25,26 However, the use of radiation imposes several undesirable limitations, including logistical issues, and the somatic damage unavoidably caused by the sterilising dose of radiation used. [27][28][29][30] Several field trials using radiation-or chemo-sterilised mosquitoes have been conducted, with some success, but there are also problems including poor performance of irradiated mosquitoes. 31 the radiation doses used induce dominant lethal mutations in the irradiated sperm such that most eggs die after being fertilised by such sperm.…”

Aedes mosquitoes include important vector species such as Aedes aegypti, the major vector of dengue. Genetic control methods are being developed for several of these species, stimulated by an urgent need owing to the poor effectiveness of current methods combined with an increase in chemical pesticide resistance. In this review we discuss the various genetic strategies that have been proposed, their present status, and future prospects. We focus particularly on those methods that are already being tested in the field, including RIDL and Wolbachia-based approaches.

AbstrakKota Semarang merupakan kota dengan kasus DBD tertinggi di Jawa Tengah dengan Kecamatan Ngaliyan sebagai daerah endemis tertinggi. Upaya pengendalian DBD sampai saat ini belum memberikan hasil memadai, sehingga diperlukan cara lain untuk membantu program pemberantasan vektor DBD, antara lain dengan Teknik Jantan Mandul atau yang lebih dikenal Teknik Serangga Mandul (TSM). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis tingkat kepadatan populasi nyamuk dan pendapat/persepsi masyarakat di Kelurahan Ngaliyan terhadap penggunaan TSM dalam pengendalian vektor Demam Berdarah Dengue (DBD). Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif analitik dengan desain study cross sectional. Pengambilan data dilakukan dengan observasi nyamuk Aedes aegypti dan wawancara mengenai pendapat masyarakat. Analisis data menggunakan analisis bivariat dengan wilcoxon sign test. Dari hasil penelitian ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa penggunaan TSM di kelurahan Ngaliyan dapat menurunkan tingkat kepadatan populasi nyamuk Aedes aegypti serta ada perbedaan pengetahuan dan sikap masyarakat sebelum dan setelah penggunaan TSM (p= 0.000 < 0.05) Kata Kunci: teknik serangga mandul, kepadatan populasi nyamuk, persepsi masyarakat, Aedes aegypti Abstract Semarang city is a city with the highest dengue cases in Central Java with the District Ngaliyan as the highest endemic areas .Until now, dengue control efforts have not provided adequate results , therefore we need other measures, one alternative is using Technique Male Infertility or better known as Sterile Insect Technique ( TSM ). This study aimed to observe the population density of mosquitoes and how public opinions about TSM after using insect technique. This research is descriptive analytic with cross sectional design study. Data is collected by the Aedes aegypti mosquito observation and interviews regarding public opinion . Data analysis using bivariate analysis with the Wilcoxon sign test. Based on the results it can be concluded that the use of TSM in the village Ngaliyan can reduce the population density of Aedes aegypti , and there are differences in knowledge and attitudes before and after the use of TSM ( p = 0.000 < 0.05).
