A temperature-sensitive CRISPR-Cas12a system for sterile insect technique [PDF]

Nature Communications
The sterile insect technique (SIT) reduces population numbers by releasing sterile males that produce non-viable progeny. Specifically, CRISPR/Cas9-based precision-guided SIT (pgSIT) generates sterile males through genetic crosses of two transgenic lines:

A self-limiting sterile insect technique alternative for Ceratitis capitata [PDF]

BMC Biology
Background Genetic biocontrol systems have broad applications in population control of insects implicated in both disease spread and food security. Ceratitis capitata (the Mediterranean fruit fly), a major agricultural pest with a global distribution, is

Advancing the art of mosquito control: the journey of the sterile insect technique against Aedes aegypti in Cuba [PDF]

Infectious Diseases of Poverty
Background Aedes aegypti, the primary vector of dengue, chikungunya, and Zika viruses, poses a significant public health threat worldwide. Traditional control methods using insecticides are increasingly challenged by resistance and environmental concerns.

Comparison on the quality of sterile Aedes aegypti mosquitoes produced by either radiation-based sterile insect technique or Wolbachia-induced incompatible insect technique. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
Novel and alternative vector control approaches using a sterile male-based release to suppress Aedes aegypti mosquito vectors have recently been tested in the field in many countries.

The sterile insect technique is protected from evolution of mate discrimination [PDF]

PeerJ, 2022
Background The sterile insect technique (SIT) has been used to suppress and even extinguish pest insect populations. The method involves releasing artificially reared insects (usually males) that, when mating with wild individuals, sterilize the broods ...

Mating harassment may boost the effectiveness of the sterile insect technique for Aedes mosquitoes [PDF]

Nature Communications
The sterile insect technique is based on the overflooding of a target population with released sterile males inducing sterility in the wild female population.

Adult mosquito predation and potential impact on the sterile insect technique [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2022
The sterile insect technique is a promising environmentally friendly method for mosquito control. This technique involves releasing laboratory-produced sterile males into a target field site, and its effectiveness may be affected by the extent of adult ...
