Birth 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 ...
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 کاملThe Sterile Insect Technique for Control of Tsetse Flies in Africa
Programmes are under way to free Africa of the disease either by developing new drugs and prophylactics or by massive control and eradication of the tsetse fly. The increasing concern that trypanosomiasis is preventing social and economic development in many countries has led to the Joint FAO/WHO Tsetse and Trypanosomiasis Control Programme. This was officially launched in November 1974. It is ...
متن کاملImpact of environmental factors on mosquito dispersal in the prospect of sterile insect technique control
The aim of this paper is to develop a mathematical model to simulate mosquito dispersal and its control taking into account environmental parameters, like wind, temperature, or landscape elements. We particularly focus on Aedes albopictus mosquito which is now recognized as a major vector of human arboviruses, like chikungunya, dengue, or yellow fever. One way to prevent those epidemics is to c...
