CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated mutagenesis of the white‐eye gene in the tephritid pest Bactrocera zonata

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Bactrocera zonata is a highly invasive agricultural pest that causes extensive damage to fruit crops. The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT), a species‐specific and environmentally friendly pest control method, significantly benefits from the availability of Genetic Sexing Strains (GSSs) that enable efficient mass production of males for sterile ...

Sequence and expression analysis of potential spermatogenesis‐specific gene cognates in the Caribbean fruit fly, Anastrepha suspensa

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The sterile insect technique (SIT) is a highly effective biologically‐based method for the suppression of many insect pest populations. SIT efficacy could be improved by methods of male sterilization that avoid the use of irradiation that can result in diminished fitness and mating competitiveness.

Development and evaluation of pupal color‐based genetic sexing strains in Anastrepha obliqua (Diptera: Tephritidae)

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Two spontaneous mutations in pupae of the West Indian fruit fly Anastrepha obliqua, named bp and sp, were isolated and studied. The bp mutation was selected, and using two types of Y‐autosoma l translocation inducers and an appropriate crossing scheme, two genetically sexed strains based on pupa l color were developed for the first time in this species,

Variations in the sensitivity of different primers for detecting Wolbachia in Anastrepha (diptera: tephritidae) [PDF]

, 2011
Wolbachia are endosymbiont bacteria of the family Rickettsiacea that are widespread in invertebrates and occur between 20% and 60% of Neotropical insects. These bacteria are responsible for reproductive phenomena such as cytoplasmic incompatibility, male

Efeito de Iscas Tóxicas sobre Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae)

BioAssay, 2015
Uma alternativa para a supressão populacional de Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae) é o emprego de iscas tóxicas. Nesse estudo, foi avaliado em laboratório o efeito de ingestão de formulações de iscas tóxicas sobre adultos de A. fraterculus bem como o efeito da precipitação pluvial sobre a eficiência das iscas.

Chromosome‐scale genome assembly of the South American fruit fly, Anastrepha fraterculus sp.1

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Anastrepha fraterculus sp. 1 is a major fruit fly pest in Argentina, currently controlled through chemical treatments and traps. This study aims to enhance the genomic understanding of this species to support the development of sterile insect technique as well as the use of innovative technologies.

Synthetic biology approaches to generate temperature‐sensitive alleles for the Sterile Insect Technique

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) is an environmentally friendly, sustainable pest control approach, which uses large‐scale releases of sterile insects to suppress or eradicate target populations through infertile matings. The efficiency of SIT is enhanced by male‐only releases requiring genetic sexing strains (GSSs) that are classically ...
