متن کاملAutomation for tsetse mass- rearing for use in sterile insect technique programmes
Foreword The Insect Pest Control sub-programme of the Joint FAO/IAEA Division of Nuclear Techniques in Food and Agriculture has worked for many years on developing the sterile insect technique (SIT) for tsetse fly control. A standard rearing system was developed twenty years ago that allowed the rearing of sufficient flies for research, development and small field operations, such as the BICOT ...
متن کاملFactory Tsetse Flies Must Behave Like Wild Flies: A Prerequisite for the Sterile Insect Technique
Tsetse flies are the vectors of human and animal African trypanosomoses, the former a major neglected disease, and the latter considered among the greatest constraints to livestock production in sub-Saharan Africa. To date, the disease is mainly contained through the prophylactic and curative treatment of livestock with trypanocidal drugs, which is not sustainable. The removal of the vector, th...
متن کاملTsetse Salivary Gland Hypertrophy Virus: Hope or Hindrance for Tsetse Control?
MANY SPECIES OF TSETSE FLIES (DIPTERA: Glossinidae) are infected with a virus that causes salivary gland hypertrophy (SGH), and flies with SGH symptoms have a reduced fecundity and fertility. The prevalence of SGH in wild tsetse populations is usually very low (0.2%-5%), but higher prevalence rates (15.2%) have been observed occasionally. The successful eradication of a Glossina austeni populat...
متن کاملThe 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...
