CRISPR-based genetic control strategies for insect pests

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2023
Genetic control strategies such as the sterile insect technique have successfully fought insect pests worldwide. The CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) technology, together with high-quality genomic resources obtained in ...

Stress in dipteran insects mass-reared for sterile insect technique applications. [PDF]

Insect Sci
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

Effect of Wolbachia Infection and Adult Food on the Sexual Signaling of Males of the Mediterranean Fruit Fly Ceratitis capitata

Insects, 2022
Sexual signaling is a fundamental component of sexual behavior of Ceratitis capitata that highly determines males’ mating success. Nutritional status and age are dominant factors known to affect males’ signaling performance and define the female decision

Towards a sterile insect technique field release of Anopheles arabiensis mosquitoes in Sudan: Irradiation, transportation, and field cage experimentation [PDF]

, 2008
Background The work described in this article forms part of a study to suppress a population of the malaria vector Anopheles arabiensis in Northern State, Sudan, with the Sterile Insect Technique. No data have previously been collected on the irradiation

Survival-Larval Density Relationships in the Field and Their Implications for Control of Container-Dwelling Aedes Mosquitoes

Insects, 2022
Population density can affect survival, growth, development time, and adult size and fecundity, which are collectively known as density-dependent effects.

Transient population dynamics of mosquitoes during sterile male releases : modelling mating behaviour and perturbations of life history parameters [PDF]

, 2013
The release of genetically-modified or sterile male mosquitoes offers a promising form of mosquito-transmitted pathogen control, but the insights derived from our understanding of male mosquito behaviour have not fully been incorporated into the design ...

Stage-structured models for interacting wild and sterile mosquitoes

上海师范大学学报. 自然科学版, 2014
Using the sterile insect technique,in which sterile mosquitoes are released to reduce or eradicate the wild mosquito population,is an effective weapon to prevent transmission of mosquito-borne diseases.To study the impact of the sterile insect technique ...

Late-acting dominant lethal genetic systems and mosquito control. [PDF]

, 2007
BACKGROUND: Reduction or elimination of vector populations will tend to reduce or eliminate transmission of vector-borne diseases. One potential method for environmentally-friendly, species-specific population control is the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT)
