Prospects for the Future Development and Application of the Sterile Insect Technique
, 2006 Science-based modern agriculture and international trade in agricultural commodities have achieved that, even though the world population has doubled in the last 40 years, the absolute number of people in poverty and hunger has been falling steadily.

Insect Science, EarlyView.Abstract The Mediterranean fruit fly is an agricultural pest of a wide variety of fruit crops. An effective method to counteract them in the field is through the application of the sterile insect technique, which requires the mass‐production of sterile males.

Insect Science, EarlyView.This study introduces a microinjection technique to deliver dsRNA into the hemolymph of first instar larval thrips (L1s) via the foreleg coxa, enhancing survival rates by minimizing internal tissue damage. Significant knockdown of V‐ATPase‐B, CYP3653A2, and ApoLp‐II/I was achieved, with silencing of CYP3653A2 or ApoLp‐II/I increasing larval mortality ...

Regulation of the Surfactant Serrawettin W2 in Serratia Sp. Strain SCBI [PDF]
, 2015 A novel Serratia sp (termed SCBI) forms an association with nematodes (South African Caenorhabditis briggsae) that were isolated by bait trapping in the greater wax moth, Galleria mellonella.

Insect Science, EarlyView.This study investigates the potential of enhancing the resistance of Glossina palpalis gambiensis to Trypanosoma brucei gambiense to mitigate the transmission of Human African Trypanosomiasis. We successfully cloned genes encoding proteins of interest in Sodalis strains, resulting in recombinant Sodalis (recSodalis) that were micro‐injected into the L3

The transformer gene controls sexual development in Drosophila suzukii
Insect Science, EarlyView.The transformer gene plays a key role in the genetic pathway for sexual development in Drosophila suzukii Abstract The genetic network of sex determination in the model organism Drosophila melanogaster was investigated in great detail. Such knowledge not only advances our understanding of the evolution and regulation of sexual dimorphism in insects ...
