Table 2.

Comparison of traditional vector control (ITNs/LLINs/IRS) and new vector control technologies (the release of male Mosquitoes and biopesticides).

ITNs/LLINs/IRS The release of male mosquitoes Biopesticides Refs
Drug resistance Presence Not applicable Complex mechanisms make it difficult to pass on drug resistance (9, 88, 106, 109)
Application method Person-to-person contact Low labor intensity, targeting mosquitoes, no human contact Person-to-person contact (52, 78)
Cost The efficiency of mosquito control decreases every year with the increase in drug resistance, and the cost also increases saving health personnel, long-term cost-saving benefits Wide range of sources, cost-effective, easy to raise and use (78, 110, 111)
Sustainability Needs to be applied or replaced regularly Sustainable control can limit the growth of target populations in successive generations after the application (108, 112, 113)
Environmental impact negative impact Unknown Environmentally friendly (108, 114)
Effects on the human body negative impact No negative impact High specificity and no negative impact (108, 114, 115)
