A 3D-printed adult release system compatible with a drone for aerial deployment of Aedes aegypti and Glossina palpalis gambiensis
The Birdview insect cassette is valuable for aerial release programmes targeting Aedes mosquitoes and tsetse. Future research should focus on refining the system's design and functionality, as well as evaluating its performance in field settings to validate its effectiveness in vector control.
