Genetic Biocontrol for Invasive Species [PDF]

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2020
Invasive species are increasingly affecting agriculture, food, fisheries, and forestry resources throughout the world. As a result of global trade, invasive species are often introduced into new environments where they become established and cause harm ...

Toward invasive mussel genetic biocontrol: Approaches, challenges, and perspectives [PDF]

iScience, 2023
Summary: Invasive freshwater mussels, such as the zebra (Dreissena polymorpha), quagga (Dreissena rostriformis bugensis), and golden (Limnoperna fortunei) mussel have spread outside their native ranges throughout many regions of the North American, South

The Promise and Challenge of Genetic Biocontrol Approaches for Malaria Elimination [PDF]

Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2023
Malaria remains an ongoing public health challenge, with over 600,000 deaths in 2021, of which approximately 96% occurred in Africa. Despite concerted efforts, the goal of global malaria elimination has stalled in recent years.

HUGE pipeline to measure temporal genetic variation in Drosophila suzukii populations for genetic biocontrol applications. [PDF]

Front Insect Sci, 2022
Understanding the fine-scale genome sequence diversity that exists within natural populations is important for developing models of species migration, temporal stability, and range expansion. For invasive species, agricultural pests, and disease vectors, sequence diversity at specific loci in the genome can impact the efficacy of next-generation ...

Genetically engineered insects with sex-selection and genetic incompatibility enable population suppression

eLife, 2022
Engineered Genetic Incompatibility (EGI) is a method to create species-like barriers to sexual reproduction. It has applications in pest control that mimic Sterile Insect Technique when only EGI males are released.

Benefits and risks of gene drives for invasive plant management - the case for common tansy

Frontiers in Agronomy, 2023
Invasive plants cause significant environmental and economic damage, but land managers have few control options. Common tansy (Tanacetum vulgare) is prevalent in many US states and is one of the most reported invasive plants in Minnesota.
