Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
Transport of sterile male mosquitoes from the location of irradiation to the release area possibly affects survival and mating competitiveness. The aim of the current research was to determine the influence of transportion the longevity of male irradiated Aedes aegypti (L.). This experiment compared the longevity of 180 irradiated male mosquitoes with 80 Gy dose in the pupal stadium to 100 virgin male mosquitoes (unirradiated control). The result is showed that irradiated male mosquito can survive in 13 days while fertile mosquito in 14 days. Based on the result of t-test, it show that there is no difference age mosquito on irradiated male mosquito and fertile male mosquito (control) with equal variance t-value not assumted of 0,000 with Sig. (2-tailed) is 1,000 or bigger than 0,05. There is a difference in the death rate in irradiated mosquitoes than control (t Equal Variance assumed value of 2.230 with Sig. (2-tailed) was 0.034). Suggested age irradiated mosquitoes no more than three days if it will be applied to the field.
