Building capacity for testing sterile insect technique against Aedes-borne diseases in the Pacific: a training workshop and launch of sterile insect technique trials against Aedes aegypti and arboviral diseases
The PAC-SIT workshop brought together researchers and stakeholders engaged in evaluating SIT for arboviral diseases in the Pacific region and globally. This training workshop highlighted that many countries are actively engaged in building operational capacities and phased testing of SIT. The workshop identified a key need for robust larger-scale studies tied with epidemiological endpoints to provide evidence for the scalability and impact on mosquito-borne diseases.
