🦟 On Réunion Island, IRD.fr & Cirad use the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) to combat Aedes mosquitoes, vectors of #chikungunya. 🎯 Goal: cut mosquito populations by up to 80%, without chemicals. 🎙 "Eggs won’t hatch," explains IRD’s Cécile Brengues. francetvinfo.fr/replay-radio/l…

The upcoming webinar series, "Innovating for Conservation: Exploring Opportunities and Risks of Synthetic Biology," will share scientific perspectives and explore the potential applications of using synthetic biology in conservation. Registration below. May 13 session:

Did you know the International Day of Plant Health was last week? 🌱 Recently, African countries came together to share experiences using the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) to protect crops from insect pests. 🪰 Read more here➡️iaea.org/newscenter/new… #PlantHealthDay

Thanks to Mamai’ s hard work, we can now skip the week-end for larval feeding of Aedes in SIT programmes: congrats! parasite-journal.org/articles/paras… IAEA NA Cirad IRD.fr

Grâce à la nouvelle technique décrite dans cet article, les techniciens et scientifiques qui élèvent des moustiques pourront... prendre leur week-end! 😀 doi.org/10.1051/parasi…
