Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) and Its Applications [PDF]

open access: yesInsects, 2021
Although most insect species have a beneficial role in the ecosystems, some of them represent major plant pests and disease vectors for livestock and humans.

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

open access: yesNature 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.

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

open access: yesNature 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]

open access: yesBMC 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

Stress in dipteran insects mass-reared for sterile insect technique applications. [PDF]

open access: yesInsect Sci
Abstract Stress may be viewed as the disturbance of homeostasis of an organism. Stress may arise from the external or internal environment of living organisms and plays a significant role in the fight or flight responses of animals. An organism's potential to resist stress is determined by its ability to mount up an effective response

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

open access: yesInfectious 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.

Polyandry: A threat or an opportunity for the sterile insect technique? [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Computational Biology
The sterile insect technique (SIT) is a pest control strategy based on the mass release of sterilized males to disrupt natural reproduction and suppress wild populations.

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

open access: yesPLoS 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.
