Under the SIT program, the males used must be compatible with the wild males in vigor, flight and selection of mate. Much of this potential is determined by the diet provided in the larval stages and optimizing the irradiation doses that cause complete sterility but have very minimal effect on the lives of irradiated males. The current study is designed to evaluate gamma radiation doses for inducing sterility in male Aedes aegypti mosquitoes with a genomic background from Pakistan (Swat district) and to assess the effects of radiation exposure on the competency of irradiated males and other life traits of irradiated mosquitoes.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Sterilization of 17-hour-old male pupae (groups of 50 pupa/cup in three replicates) of the Ae. aegypti Swat strain was conducted using radiation doses of 30, 60, 70, 90, and 105 gray (Gy) from (Co60) at the Nuclear Institute for Food and Agriculture (NIFA) in Peshawar, Pakistan.
