Mosquito transmitted diseases continue to increase their incidence and geographical locations and it is therefore more important than ever to develop effective control methods.

Factors such as increased insecticide resistance and environmental impact have driven a need for novel control strategies such as sterile insect technique (SIT), use of the bacteria Wolbachia, release of insects with dominant lethality (RIDL) and gene drives.
