  abstract = {{T}he {S}terile {I}nsect {T}echnique ({SIT}), used to control insect populations, consists of releasing males sterilized by ionizing radiations. {W}ild females that mate with these males can no longer produce viable offspring, which may drives the population decline. {A}lthough this method has proved its efficiency, its effect may be more limited for fast-reproducing large-population species, such {A}edes albopictus. {A} novel approach, named "boosted {SIT}" has been designed to strengthen the {SIT} technique: {I}t consists of coating sterile males with a biocide that will be transferred to the mated females, which will then contaminate the oviposition sites. {T}his study is aimed at exploring demographic effects of both techniques ({SIT} and boosted {SIT}) through their inclusion in a weather-driven abundance model of the {A}edes albopictus population dynamics in the geographical context of {L}a {R}eunion {I}sland. {S}ensitivity analysis showed that the date to start the release, as well as the quantity of sterile males released and their competitiveness, are of key importance for both control methods. {A}ccording to our results, boosted {SIT} allows 1) {I}ncreasing the effectiveness of the {SIT} when the sterile males released are of medium quality in terms of competitiveness, and 2) extending the optimal window to start the control period.},
