Abstract

Aedes aegypti (Ae. aegypti ), avector of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF), population control was developed using the sterile insect technique (SIT). Sterilization process was conducted using γ-ray sterilization. To support the SIT application, the sterility of male Ae. aegypti on the 1st-5th days post sterilization were studied. The first step of this research was the sterilization process of male Ae.aegypti with 70Gy of γ-ray sterilization. Then, the sterile male Ae.aegypti mosquitoes on the 1st ; 2nd ; 3rd; 4th and 5th days after the sterilization process espectively were competed with un-irradiated males to mate with un-irradiated females. The number of eggs that were produced was incubated to determine the fertility of sterile male Ae. aegypti. The result showed that the average number of eggs produced from mating combination of sterile male Ae.aegypti mosquitoes on the 1st-5th days post sterilization, un-irradiated females and un-irradiated males
was 1,135; 1,118; 1,243, 1,372 and 1,326.The average
percentage number of eggs that did not hatch into larvae
was 97.69%; 97.87%;90.92%, 96.20%,
and
86.91%.
