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.

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

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 ...

Neoclassical development of genetic sexing strains for insect pest and disease vector control
The sterile insect technique has been effectively used for decades, and an important component is the availability of sex separation systems, in particular genetic sexing strains. Classical approaches, such as irradiation‐induced chromosomal translocations, have yielded stable strains for species like the Mediterranean fruit fly.

Sperm Telomere Interactions Are Impaired in Testicular Cancer Before and After Adjuvant Therapy
ABSTRACT Background No study has yet explored telomere length or interaction in sperm nuclei of testicular cancer (TC) patients exposed to chemotherapy or radiotherapy. However, sperm telomere dynamics have emerged as a potential marker in male infertility.
