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.

Temperature-Inducible Precision Guided Sterile Insect Technique [PDF]

The CRISPR Journal, 2021
ABSTRACTReleases 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 CRISPR-mediated precision-guided ...

Formulation of Artificial Diets for Mass-Rearing Eldana saccharina Walker (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) Using the Carcass Milling Technique

Insects, 2022
The carcass milling technique (CMT) formulates specific diets from nutrient analyses of species to be reared and their natural host plants. The first of four diets developed used the minimum ingredient specifications (MS) of published diets for Eldana ...
