Genetic engineering for SIT application: a fruit fly‐focused review
Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 703-723, April 2026.Abstract Sterile insect technique (SIT) has become a key component of efficient pest control. Fruit fly pests from the Drosophilidae and Tephritidae families pose a substantial and overwhelmingly increasing threat to the agricultural industry, aggravated by climate change and globalization among other contributors.
