Effect of boosted SIT on the apparent density of Ae. aegypti in La Reunion Island: a field experiment.
Boosted SIT: Release sterile male mosquitoes coated with piriproxyfen
Apparent density: Size of the captured population. Specifically, log-number of captured individuals per trap per day.
The objective is to assess whether “boosting” (i.e. using the coating) has some noticeable impact on the decline of the population after a SIT intervention.
Since we cannot quantify the entire natural population directly, we consider the apparent density as a proxy.
Open the RStudio project (or a R session with the working directory set at the project’s root).
Run targets::tar_make()
to build/update all the targets and cache them.
PDF reports are compiled into reports/
, HTML versions of reports and slides are in public/
.
Use targets::tar_load(everything())
to load targets into memory for interactive examination.
