Pasco County Mosquito Control District recently concluded an 8-week proof-of-concept trial using sterile male Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. While we did not observe the level of suppression initially anticipated, the trial provided valuable data. Based on these results, a new evaluation will begin using a different variation of sterile Aedes aegypti male mosquitoes provided by our partner company. This new trial will help us further assess the potential of SIT as an innovative control tool in our region. We remain committed to exploring science-based solutions to protect public health.
