Incompatible Insect Technique

The Incompatible Insect Technique is a biological vector control method that involves the release of male insects infected with Wolbachia bacteria to mate with wild females, resulting in cytoplasmic incompatibility that prevents viable offspring and thereby suppresses the target insect population.
