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) |
