“…Two CI-based vector control strategies are deployed worldwide. First, the incompatible insect technique (IIT), also known as population suppression, aims to reduce the population size of disease vectors through release of CI-inducing male insects ( Figure 2A ; Ant et al, 2020 ; Caputo et al, 2020 ; Chambers et al, 2011 ; Crawford et al, 2020 ; Fresno, 2018 ; Kyritsis et al, 2019 ; Laven, 1967 ; Mains et al, 2019 ; Mains et al, 2016 ; O'Connor et al, 2012 ; Puggioli et al, 2016 ; Zheng et al, 2019a ). Conversely, the population replacement strategy (PRS) does not reduce population sizes, but instead it aims to convert a native population that transmits arboviruses to humans with one that has reduced vectoral capacity ( Figure 2B ; Caragata et al, 2016 ; Hoffmann et al, 2011 ; Moreira et al, 2009 ; O'Neill, 2018 ; Tantowijoyo et al, 2020 ; Teixeira et al, 2008 ; van den Hurk et al, 2012 ).…”
