wMel infected Aedes aegypti were realease via air using an automated adult release system integrated into a DJI M600 Prohexacopter UAV (DJI, China). Mosquitoes that came out of the automated adult release mechanism output were captured by the output camera, and the size of the release dose was visually estimated. A scoring system, 0 for blank release, 0.5 for partial release with more than 5 mosquitoes and 1 for good release was recorded for each release point. N/A represents release points that were not flown. N/v represent release points that did not have video footage available.
