Temperature-Inducible Precision Guided Sterile Insect Technique [PDF]
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 ...

Characterization of luminescent dosimeters for sterile insect technique
The Sterile Insect Technique, or SIT, is an environment-friendly insect pest control method and uses gamma rays or X-rays to sterilize insects, remaining sexually competitive but cannot produce offspring.

Stress in dipteran insects mass-reared for sterile insect technique applications. [PDF]
Abstract Stress may be viewed as the disturbance of homeostasis of an organism. Stress may arise from the external or internal environment of living organisms and plays a significant role in the fight or flight responses of animals. An organism's potential to resist stress is determined by its ability to mount up an effective response

The influence of late-stage pupal irradiation and increased irradiated:un-irradiated male ratio on mating competitiveness of the malaria mosquito Anopheles arabiensis Patton [PDF]
Competitiveness of released males in genetic control programmes is of critical importance. In this paper, we explored two scenarios to compensate for the loss of mating competitiveness after pupal stage irradiation in males of the malaria mosquito ...

Evolutionary biology and genetic techniques for insect control [PDF]
The requirement to develop new techniques for insect control that minimize negative environmental impacts has never been more pressing. Here we discuss population suppression and population replacement technologies. These include sterile insect technique,
