Implication

Analysis reveals that X-ray irradiation improves sterility in wild-type and Wolbachia-infected Aedes aegypti, suggesting enhanced vector control methods.

Key Points

X-ray irradiation at 7 Gy resulted in over 90% sterility in both wild-type and Wolbachia-infected Aedes aegypti.
For wild-type mosquitoes, doses from 3 Gy affected first-instar larvae development, while 1 Gy enhanced forth-instar growth in Wolbachia carriers.
Irradiation at lower doses could optimize application of sterile insect technique (SIT) and incompatible insect technique (IIT) for vector control.
Using egg-stage irradiation simplifies distribution compared to other mosquito developmental stages, potentially aiding vector management.
