Table 3 Information from studies used to compare cost estimates of IIT/SIT male production derived elsewhere to that estimated for production in the USA on Kauaʻi

Study	Location	Culicid studied	Year estimated^a,b	Estimated inflation (to 2022 US$)^c	Purchasing power parity (to US$)	Published cost (US$)
Singh et al., 1975; 1977	India	Cx. quinquefasciatus (syn: Cx. fatigans)	1972–1973	6.95	23.14	$40–50 per million pupae
Zheng et al., 2019	China	Ae. albopictus	2016–2017	1.235	4.19	$13–175 to produce 11,640–158,136 HC males/ha/week
