Pesticide Chemical: Wolbachia pipientis.

Summary of Request: The applicant proposes release of male Aedes polynesienis mosquitoes infected with Wolbachia pipientis in American Samoa. The male mosquitoes will mate with indigenous female Aedes polynesienis, causing conditional sterility and resulting in mosquito population suppression.
