Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 463-475, April 2026.Bactrocera fruit flies are significant horticultural pests that cause major economic losses. A “neoclassical approach” incorporating genome editing via CRISPR/Cas9 to develop genetic sexing strains (GSS) could render the sterile insect technique (SIT) against these pests more efficient and cost‐effective.

Molecular variation of Trypanosoma brucei subspecies as revealed by AFLP fingerprinting [PDF]
, 2002 Genetic analysis of Trypanosoma spp. depends on the detection of variation between strains. We have used the amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) technique to develop a convenient and reliable method for genetic characterization of Trypanosome ...

Glossina palpalis gambiensis (Tsetse Fly) [PDF]
Trends in Parasitology, 2020 Glossina palpalis gambiensis is a riverine tsetse species endemic in West Africa and thriving in riparian vegetation of the savannah areas from Burkina Faso and Mali to Guinea and Senegal. It is a major vector of human and animal trypanosomosis (sleeping sickness and nagana, respectively) in that region. G. p.

Neoclassical development of genetic sexing strains for insect pest and disease vector control
Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 618-639, April 2026.The sterile insect technique has been effectively used for decades, and an important component is the availability of sex separation systems, in particular genetic sexing strains. Classical approaches, such as irradiation‐induced chromosomal translocations, have yielded stable strains for species like the Mediterranean fruit fly.
