Mosquito population replacement is an alternative arbovirus control concept aiming at replacing virus-competent vector populations with laboratory-engineered incompetent vectors.
Yet despite the obvious character of their crisis, and despite Western Europeans' faith in the need for ever-more migrants to replace an ageing population, there is still no similar appetite for population replacement in the East.
(b) What affects the success of population replacement?
Where women's status in every way approaches that of men, fertility rates most nearly approach the sustainable population "replacement" level.
Denmark was below population replacement level in 1970, at 2.0 births per woman, and slid to 1.7 by 2001.
The global population replacement level, the number of births required to keep population stable, is 2.3 babies per couple.
Finally, we highlight several challenges to implementing population replacement in the wild.
This happens to be the population replacement rate: the point at which reproduction contributes to neither a fall nor a rise in the number of people.
So, many mosquitoes infected with Wolbachia are released in some countries so that strategies for population replacement can be fulfilled.
(b) If not, what are the parameter regions for the success or possible success of population replacement?
Out of Africa 2 (also called the population replacement hypothesis) picks up where Out of Africa 1 leaves off.
