Mean Distance Travelled (MDT) with Confidence Interval (CI) calculated by bootstrap, Flight Range 50 (FR 50), Flight Range 90 (FR 90) and wing measurement with standard deviation (SD) for OX513A-My1 and My1 laboratory strains.

Study and monitored areas in Bentong, Pahang, Malaysia.

<p>(a) The release was conducted in an uninhabited area comprising a jungle area (government land), a cleared area and a young rubber plantation where a network of 45 adult traps (BG-Sentinel) and 44 ovitraps were set. The closest inhabited areas were monitored with 35 ovitraps only, (release point: red star; uninhabited study area: green area; inhabited monitored area: blue area) (Credits for small scale map: © 2012 Google; © 2012 Tele Atlas; © 2012 TerraMetrics; Credits for large scale map: © 2012 Google; © 2012 GeoEye; © 2012 Cnes/Spot Image; © 2012 Mapit). (b) The BG-Sentinel traps were principally set in the cleared area on the small terraces surrounding the release point and uphill on a small path through the forest until around 100 m from the release point. Further traps were placed downhill in the rubber plantation along the road leading to the closest inhabited area. (Release point: red star; BG-Sentinel™ traps: circles; Altitude: contour lines (separated by 10 m)).</p

Difference in dispersal of My1 and OX513A-My1 males.

<p>Proportion of the total trap density corrected recaptures <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0042771#pone.0042771-Morris1" target="_blank">[46]</a> calculated according to the distance from the release point by concentric annuli of 25 m. Most of the OX513A-My1 males (68%) were caught in the first two annuli surrounding the release point, i.e. <50 m, while the My1 males are more evenly distributed among the annuli (from 3% to 22%). This accounts for the latter higher Mean Distance Travelled (MDT), Flight Range 50 (FR50) and Flight Range 90 (FR90). (My1 males: red; OX513A-My1 males: blue).</p

Ovitrap index of <i>Ae. aegypti</i> and <i>Ae. albopictus</i> in uninhabited and inhabited sites.

<p>The larval monitoring confirmed the predominance of <i>Ae. albopictus</i> in the uninhabited area as well as in the inhabited areas surrounding the study area. (<i>Ae. aegypti</i> uninhabited area: blue solid line; <i>Ae. aegypti</i> inhabited area: blue dotted line; <i>Ae. albopictus</i> uninhabited area: green solid line; <i>Ae albopictus</i> inhabited area: green dotted line).</p
