The Sterile Insect Technique as a Component of Sustainable Area-wide Integrated Pest Management of Selected Horticultural Insect Pests
The indiscriminate use of broad-spectrum insecticides has caused major problems with pest resistance, residues in food, environmental contamination, outbreaks of secondary pests, and reductions in populations of beneficial insects. This results in increased demands for pest control methods that are both efficient and friendly to the environment. The sterile insect technique (SIT), applied as pa...
متن کاملDeveloping Alternatives to Gamma Irradiation for the Sterile Insect Technique
Almost all insect pest control programmes currently releasing sterile insects as part of the area-wide integrated application of the sterile insect technique (SIT) use radioisotope irradiators that are loaded either with cobalt-60 or caesium-137, which produce ionizing radiation consisting of gamma rays. Irradiators such as the Gammacell 220 have proven to be extremely reliable for the purpose ...
متن کاملImplementing the sterile insect technique with RNA interference – a review
We review RNA interference (RNAi) of insect pests and its potential for implementing sterile insect technique (SIT)-related control. The molecular mechanisms that support RNAi in pest species are reviewed in detail, drawing on literature from a range of species including Drosophila melanogaster Meigen and Homo sapiens L. The underlying genes that enable RNAi are generally conserved across taxa,...
متن کاملMathematical model to assess the control of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes by the sterile insect technique.
We propose a mathematical model to assess the effects of irradiated (or transgenic) male insects introduction in a previously infested region. The release of sterile male insects aims to displace gradually the natural (wild) insect from the habitat. We discuss the suitability of this release technique when applied to peri-domestically adapted Aedes aegypti mosquitoes which are transmissors of Y...
متن کاملBirth Control for Insects: The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) for Controlling Fruit Fly (Tephritidae: Diptera) by Releasing Sterile Males
The aim of this technical brief is to summarize the results obtained from the laboratory and field trials conducted on birth control for insects in minimizing the impacts of fruit flies on horticulture. Several species of fruit flies belonging to Tephritidae family have a greater impact on global agriculture specially horticulture trade than almost any other pest. The introduction of fruit fly ...
