Population Suppression in Support of the Sterile Insect Technique [PDF]

, 2021
Suppression or eradication of insect pest populations by the release of sterile insects is often dependent on supplementary methods of pest reduction to levels where the target pest population can be overflooded with sterile insects. Population suppression activities often take place in advance of, or coincide with, the production and release of ...

Temperature-Inducible Precision Guided Sterile Insect Technique [PDF]

The CRISPR Journal, 2021
ABSTRACT 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. To advance traditional methods for scaling the generation of sterile males, we previously described a ...

A One-Sided Competition Mathematical Model for the Sterile Insect Technique

Complexity, 2020
We study a simple mathematical model describing the dynamics of a wild-type pest insects population experiencing competition from sterile insects (one-sided competition).

Boosting the sterile insect technique to control mosquitoes [PDF]

Trends in Parasitology, 2014
Mosquitoes are vectors of major diseases. Auto-dissemination recently proved very efficient to control Aedes species, using adult females contaminated with dissemination stations of juvenile hormone to treat breeding habitats, but cannot be used at large scales. Here we propose to combine it to the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) to create a new control

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

Nature 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.

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 ...

Environment and the Sterile Insect Technique

, 2006
The sterile insect technique (SIT) is an exceptionally promising pest control method in terms of efficacy and environmental compatibility. Assessments of environmental risks vary according to the status and origin of the target pests. The suppression or eradication of non-native pest populations with the sit raises few environmental concerns, and these

Improvement of colony management in insect mass‐rearing for sterile insect technique applications

Insect Science
Abstract Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) applications against major insect pests and disease vectors rely on the cost‐effective production of high‐quality sterile males. This largely depends on the optimal management of target pest colonies by maximizing the benefits provided by a genetically rich and pathogen‐free mother colony, the ...

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 ...
