Review of: Modelling the Impact of Sterile Males Releases on a Wild Mosquito Population –model assessment from field trials in Mauritius. Round#2/Reviewer#2

Key Points

• The aim is to evaluate how releasing sterile males affects wild mosquito populations.
• Conducted field trials in Mauritius to assess the impact.
• Employed modeling techniques to analyze data.
• Compared results from different release strategies.
• Sterile male releases significantly reduced mosquito population density.
• Model assessments revealed effective strategies for population control.
• Findings support the sterile insect technique as a viable pest management approach.
