Guidelines for Blood Collection, Processing and Quality Control for Tsetse Rearing Insectaries, Version 2.0
This document is intended for use in laboratories and institutions that maintain colonies of tsetse flies. It describes the procedures for the collection of animal blood in the abattoir, decontamination through ionizing radiation, preservation and storage, quality control assurance and processing of the blood into diet for feeding tsetse flies.

Guidelines for mass rearing of Aedes mosquitoes_v1.0
The number and production capacity of mass-rearing insectaries for?Aedes?mosquitoes is increasing as the SIT technology is being validated in field pilot projects. These guidelines have been developed to provide a description of procedures required for?Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus?mass-rearing. It is a summary of necessary steps of larval and adult mass-rearing as used at the FAO/IAEA. This guide will be continuously updated considering the improvements brought to the mass-rearing of mosquitoes.

Standard Operating Procedures for Detection and Identification of Trypanosome Species in Tsetse Flies Version 1.0
The manual provides an easy-to-use work flow that combines several different PCR-based methods that can be used for trypanosome detection and identification in field-caught tsetse flies and/or host blood samples collected from livestock and wildlife animals.

Spreadsheet for Designing Aedes Mosquito Mass-Rearing and Release Facilities Version 1.0
The number and production capacity of mass rearing insectaries for mosquitos is expected to increase in the coming years. This FAO/IAEA interactive?Excel Spreadsheet?has been developed to assists in technical and economic decision making associated with design, costing, construction, equipping, and facility operation. The spreadsheet is user friendly and thus largely self-explanatory. Nevertheless, it includes a basic instruction manual that has been prepared to guide the user, and thus should be used together with the software.

Manual and Spreadsheet for Assessment of Sterile Insect Release Densities
This?Excel spreadsheet?model is a valuable tool for optimization of sterile insect release programmes in particular for fruit flies. This spreadsheet model has been validated and it is being used routinely in large-scale operational field programmes. The investment that programmes conduct in SIT application (including production and release of sterile insects) is very substantial; therefore, an efficient use of the sterile insects is fundamental to provide economic feasibility to SIT programmes.

Guidelines for Colonization of Aedes Mosquito Species - Version 1.0.
This document aims to provide a description of procedures required for the establishment of?Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus?colonies in your insectary or laboratory. It presents a summary of the necessary steps such as collecting material from the field, species identification, and adapting your wild colony to laboratory conditions and artificial rearing procedures.
