Analysis and control of Aedes Aegypti mosquitoes using sterile-insect techniques with Wolbachia

Combining Sterile and Incompatible Insect techniques can significantly reduce mosquito populations and prevent the transmission of diseases between insects and humans. This paper describes impulsive differential equations for the control of a mosquito with Wolbachia. Several interesting con-ditions are created when sterile male mosquitoes are released impulsively, ensuring both open-and closed-loop control. To determine the wild mosquito population size in real-time, we propose an open-loop control system, which uses impulsive and constant releases of sterile male mosquitoes. A closed-loop control scheme is also being investigated, which specifies the release of sterile mosquitoes according to the size of the wild mosquito population. To eliminate or reduce a mosquito popula-tion below a certain threshold, the Sterile insect technique involves mass releases of sterile insects. Numerical simulations verify the theoretical results.

Automated summary

This paper describes the combination of sterile and incompatible insect techniques for reducing mosquito populations and preventing disease transmission. The impulsive differential equations and open-loop control system are used to monitor and control the wild mosquito population in real-time. The Sterile insect technique is employed to eliminate or reduce mosquito populations.
