- This study assessed the effectiveness of sterile male mosquitoes released weekly over a month and tracked their dispersal and survival rates in Gampaha.
- Results indicated that sterile males could travel considerable distances, had a notable mating competitiveness, and significantly reduced the population of wild mosquitoes, providing valuable data for future control initiatives in Sri Lanka and similar regions.
