However, managing this technique is challenging and resource intensive. SIT relies on mass rearing, sterilization, and release of adult males to reduce field populations. Maintaining an acceptable level of female presence, who can transmit viruses through biting, is crucial. Females are also essential for facility sustainability. Sex sorting plays a vital role in the production process, and our current mechanical sorting approach aims to obtain a high number of adult males with minimal female contamination within 24 h of pupation. Utilizing protandry helps control female contamination. While the 24-h sorting period achieves desired contamination levels, it may not yield enough females to sustain breeding lines, leading to increased labor costs that impact project sustainability. By delaying the sorting procedure to 48 h, we obtained sufficient females to sustain breeding lines, achieving a balance between male production and female contamination using the automatic version of the Fay\u2013Morlan device as the sorting tool.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jisesa\/iead060","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,18]],"date-time":"2023-09-18T13:51:50Z","timestamp":1695045110000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Effect of 2 sex-sorting time schedules on SIT facility management"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2216-6541","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marco","family":"Malfacini","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Agricultural and Food Sciences, University of Bologna , Viale Fanin, 42, 40127 Bologna , Italy"},{"name":"Department of Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Centro Agricoltura Ambiente \u201cG.
