Temperature-Inducible Precision-Guided Sterile Insect Technique. [PDF]
CRISPR J, 2021 Releases of sterile males are the gold standard for many insect population control programs, and precise sex sorting to remove females prior to male releases is essential to the success of these operations.

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 ...

Biological Basis of the Sterile Insect Technique
Sterile Insect Technique, 2021 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 ...

Genetic Basis of the Sterile Insect Technique
Sterile Insect Technique, 2021 The use of the sterile insect technique (SIT) for insect control relies on the introduction of sterility in the females of the wild population. This sterility is produced following the mating of these females with released males carrying, in their sperm,

Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) field trial targeting the suppression of Aedes albopictus in Greece. [PDF]
ParasiteThe sterile insect technique (SIT) involves releasing large numbers of sterile males to outcompete wild males in mating with females, leading to a decline in pest populations.

Development of the Sterile Insect Technique to control the dengue vector Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus) in Sri Lanka. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2022 Background The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) is presently being tested to control dengue in several countries. SIT aims to cause the decline of the target insect population through the release of a sufficient number of sterilized male insects.

History of the Sterile Insect Technique
Sterile Insect Technique, 2021 During the 1930s and 1940s the idea of releasing insects of pest species to introduce sterility (sterile insect technique or SIT) into wild populations, and thus control them, was independently conceived in three extremely diverse intellectual ...
