Medfly promoters relevant to the sterile insect technique

Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2004
This review summarizes structural and functional studies on medfly promoters and regulatory elements that can be used for driving sex-specific, conditional and constitutive gene expression in this species. Sex-specific and conditional promoters are important for generating transgenic sexing strains that could increase the performance of the Sterile ...

The Sterile Insect Technique: Success and Perspectives in the Neotropics

Neotropical Entomology, 2020
The sterile insect technique (SIT), an environmentally friendly means of control, is currently used against plant, animal, and human pests under the area-wide integrated pest management. It consists in the mass production, sterilization, and release of insects in an affected area where sterile males mate with wild females leading to no reproduction ...

Insect Transgenesis and the Sterile Insect Technique

2010
The establishment of broadly applicable insect transgenesis systems will enable the analyses of gene function in diverse insect species. This will greatly increase our understanding of diverse aspects of biology so far not functionally addressable. Moreover, insect transgenesis will provide novel strategies for insect pest management and the means to ...

Re-engineering the sterile insect technique

Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2002
The mass release of sterile insects (the Sterile Insect Technique, SIT) is a highly effective area-wide method of pest control with a low environmental impact. SIT relies on the sterilization by irradiation of large numbers of insects. This has unavoidable costs in terms of the fitness of the irradiated insects and the financial requirements of ...

Developing transgenic Anopheles mosquitoes for the sterile insect technique

Genetica, 2010
In the last 10 years the availability of the genome sequence of Anopheles gambiae and the development of a transgenic technology for several species of Anopheles mosquitoes have, in combination, helped in enabling us to gain several insights into the biology of these mosquitoes that is relevant to their capacity as vectors of the malaria parasite ...

Biological Basis of the Sterile Insect Technique

, 2005
In principle, the sterile insect technique (SIT) is applicable to controlling a wide variety of insect pests, but biological factors, interacting with socio-economic and political forces, restrict its practical use to a narrower set of pest species and situations.

Modelling the effects of inherited sterility for the application of the sterile insect technique

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, 2008
Abstract 1 The sterile insect technique (SIT) involves the release of large numbers of sterile or partially‐sterile insects into a wild pest population to dilute the number of successful wild matings, with the eventual aim of eradication or area‐wide suppression.

Incompatible and sterile insect techniques combined eliminate mosquitoes

Nature, 2019
The radiation-based sterile insect technique (SIT) has successfully suppressed field populations of several insect pest species, but its effect on mosquito vector control has been limited. The related incompatible insect technique (IIT)-which uses sterilization caused by the maternally inherited endosymbiotic bacteria Wolbachia-is a promising ...

Molecular technologies to improve the effectiveness of the sterile insect technique

Genetica, 2011
The application of the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) in area-wide integrated pest management (AW-IPM) programmes continues to increase. However, programme efficiency can still be considerably enhanced when certain components of the technology are improved, such as the development of improved strains for mass rearing and release.
