Lessons from the Mass Production of Wolbachia-infected Aedes aegypti for Egg Release in the Sleman and Bantul Districts of Yogyakarta
Maret 2024
Abstract
An efficacy study on wMel Wolbachia-infected Aedesaegypti technology con-ducted by the World Mosquito Program (WMP) Yogyakarta showed the re-ducing of dengue incidence in Yogyakarta City. Following this successful re-sult, the intervention was scaled up into two neighbouring districts: Sleman and Bantul. This paper describes our experience in mass production for providing release material for a larger area to reach the deployment target, which includes insectary requirements, mass production protocols, and diag-nostic screening. This review may serve as a reference guidance for national mass production for wMelWolbachia-infected Ae. aegypti.
