Genomic editors for localised population suppression

bioRxiv
ABSTRACT Effective control of pest populations remains a major challenge for agriculture, public health, and conservation. While genetic control strategies such as the release of sterile males or individuals carrying dominant lethal alleles have achieved some success, they typically require repeated, large-scale releases due to ...

A Mosquito Population Suppression Model by Releasing Wolbachia-Infected Males

Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 2022
Due to the role of cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI), releasing Wolbachia-infected male mosquitoes into the wild becomes a very promising strategy to suppress the wild mosquito population. When developing a mosquito suppression strategy, our main concerns are how often, and in what amount, should Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes be released under different

Insect Population Suppression Using Engineered Insects

2008
Suppression or elimination of vector populations is a tried and tested method for reducing vector-borne disease, and a key component of integrated control programs. Genetic methods have the potential to provide new and improved methods for vector control.

More phylogenetically diverse polycultures inconsistently suppress insect herbivore populations

Oecologia, 2022
Because the diet of many herbivorous insects is restricted to closely related taxa with similar chemistry, intercropping with diverse plant communities may reduce both pest populations and reliance on chemical pesticides in agroecosystems. We tested whether the effectiveness of intercropping against herbivorous insects depends on the phylogenetic ...

Integrating pyriproxyfen into the incompatible insect technique enhances mosquito population suppression efficiency and eliminates the risk of population replacement.

Pest Management Science
BACKGROUND The incompatible insect technique (IIT) has been used for Aedes mosquito population suppression to curb the transmission of dengue. However, its wide application is limited owing to the low output of male mosquitoes and the risk of population ...

Distributing an Insect Population Suppressant from Aircraft

Transactions of the ASAE, 1981
ABSTRACT A system was developed for transporting, metering, and distributing a pelletized formulation of the Screwworm Adult Suppression System (a combination of bait and toxicant) from aircraft as a suppressant of a na-tive population of screwworm, Cochliomyia hominivorax (Coquerel). Two trials of 3 applications each at rates of 0.18 kg/km2 of pellets

Utilization of Acid Suppression Medication in an Underserved Population

Southern Medical Journal, 2020
Acid suppression therapy (AST), composed of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), histamine-2 receptor blockers, and antacids, is one of the most common medication groups used in the United States. Long-term AST is concerning, however, because it is linked with an increased risk of community-acquired pneumonia, Clostridium difficile infections, bone fractures,
