Double-Stranded RNA Technology to Control Insect Pests: Current Status and Challenges
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 Exploiting the RNA interference (RNAi) gene mechanism to silence essential genes in pest insects, leading to toxic effects, has surfaced as a promising new control strategy in the past decade.

Does Tap Water Quality Compromise the Production of Aedes Mosquitoes in Genetic Control Projects?
Insects, 2021 A mosquito’s life cycle includes an aquatic phase. Water quality is therefore an important determinant of whether or not the female mosquitoes will lay their eggs and the resulting immature stages will survive and successfully complete their development ...

Bivariate stochastic modeling of functional response with natural mortality [PDF]
, 2010 A correction due to Abbott (1925) is the standard method of dealing with control mortality in insect bioassay to estimate the mortality of an insect conditional on control mortality not having occurred.

Current understanding of the genomic, genetic, and molecular control of insect resistance in rice
Molecular breeding, 2020 Rice ( Oryza sativa ) is both a vital source of food and a key model cereal for genomic research. Insect pests are major factors constraining rice production. Here, we provide an overview of recent progress in functional genomics research and the genetic
