RNAi-Based Biocontrol of Pests to Improve the Productivity and Welfare of Livestock Production

Insects and ectoparasites are causes for major concern throughout the world due to their economic welfare impacts on livestock agriculture. Current control measures involve chemicals such as acaricides which pose challenges like chemical resistance longer withholding periods. To enable more sustainable agriculture practices, it is important develop technologies that combine targeted effectiveness with minimal environmental footprint. RNA interference (RNAi) a eukaryotic process in transcript expression reduced sequence-specific manner. This makes perfect tool developing efficient effective biological against pests pathogens. Double-stranded (dsRNA) key trigger molecule inducing RNAi; this concept widely studied development of RNA-based biopesticides an alternative controls crop protection targeting pathogens accuracy specificity. In review, we discuss advances made using RNAi technology how they can be applied improve health industries. includes research focused different delivery mechanisms dsRNA, developments regulatory frameworks, risk identification, will future adoption animal health.
