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

Stress in dipteran insects mass-reared for sterile insect technique applications. [PDF]
Insect SciAbstract 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]
Infectious Diseases of PovertyBackground 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.
