Cost analysis reveals production and release expenses for radiation-sterilized Aedes aegypti align with alternative methods, suggesting economic competitiveness against insecticides.
Our cost estimates for SIT by irradiation are within the range of estimates reported for alternative mass-rearing and release methods to control Aedes populations, and the approach appears competitive with insecticide-based interventions. The cost-effectiveness in different contexts remains to be investigated.
