昆虫不育技术（SIT）是一种很有前途的、环境友好的替代农药的害虫控制方法。然而，用埃及伊蚊（Linnaeus）蚊子实施SIT提出了独特的挑战。例如，在从饲养设施运输到释放地点的过程中以及在实地实际释放期间，应尽量减少对雄蚊的损害，以保持其生殖竞争力。短距离飞行的雄性Ae。埃及需要精心设计的释放策略，例如通过无人驾驶飞机系统释放，通常称为无人机。运输和放行过程中的两个关键参数是储存温度和压实率。我们进行了一组实验室实验，以确定最佳的温度和压缩率的存储和运输的男性Ae。埃及人。然后，我们进行了运输实验，以测试我们的实验室得出的结果在“现实生活”的设置。实验结果表明，雄性Ae.埃及伊蚊在7 ~ 28°C的贮藏温度范围内均可存活，但贮藏时间不宜超过24 h。男性生存率高，我们测试的所有压实率低，在40男性/立方厘米。有趣的是，我们的“真实”运输实验结果表明，高压实率有利于生存。这项研究进展的关键不足方面的实用性移动实验室饲养的昆虫到外地，并奠定了基础，为进一步研究运输条件对男性生殖适合度的影响。
Sterile insect technique (SIT) is a promising, environmentally friendly alternative to the use of pesticides for insect pest control. However, implementing SIT with Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus) mosquitoes presents unique challenges. For example, during transport from the rearing facility to the release site and during the actual release in the field, damage to male mosquitoes should be minimized to preserve their reproductive competitiveness. The short flight range of male Ae. aegypti requires elaborate release strategies such as release via Unmanned Aircraft Systems, more commonly referred to as drones. Two key parameters during transport and release are storage temperature and compaction rate. We performed a set of laboratory experiments to identify the optimal temperatures and compaction rates for storage and transport of male Ae. aegypti. We then conducted shipping experiments to test our laboratory-derived results in a ‘real-life’ setting. The laboratory results indicate that male Ae. aegypti can survive at a broad range of storage temperatures ranging from 7 to 28°C, but storage time should not exceed 24 h. Male survival was high at all compaction rates we tested with a low at 40 males/cm3. Interestingly, results from our ‘real-life’ shipping experiment showed that high compaction rates were beneficial to survival. This study advances key understudied aspects of the practicalities of moving lab-reared insects into the field and lies the foundation for further studies on the effect of transport conditions on male reproductive fitness.
