Description
The endangered akikiki and akekeeare of special concern. The most promising strategy for managing avian malaria is mosquito population suppression via the incompatible insect technique (IIT). The kauai forest bird recovery project, along with the state of hawaii and the US fish and wildlife service is part of the birds not mosquitos multiagency partnership advancing IIT in the state of hawaii to prevent further extinction of forest birds in hawaii. The first trial 3000-acre (12.2 SQ KM) IIT deployment on kauai is targeted for spring 2025 with BI-weekly releases of 250,000 incompatible male mosquitoes. Here we propose to implement the IIT (deployment monitoring) of incompatible male mosquitoes at specified locations on the island of kauai to reduce the overall population of wild culex mosquitoes known to vector avian malaria.
