Recapture rate was high, and mosquitoes of both sexes appeared up to 23 d after release. A daily survival probability of approximate to 0.95 for males and females, far higher than expected, was estimated from these results. There was evidence that both sexes prefer to follow corridors of vegetation rather than crossing open spaces. Populations of wild mosquitoes had parous and insemination rates indicative of a young population. These results are relevant to future attempts to control this species by sterile insect technology. specialized Aedes albopictus Aedes aegypti dispersal survival sterile insect technique 052 46 5 1117-1124 2009 0022-2585 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010048186 0022-2585 [F B010048186] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010048186 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/2009/09/010048186.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2009-10-07 2017-08-23 fdi:010048186 fre
