Journal ArticleDOI
A gene drive does not spread easily in populations of the honey bee parasite Varroa destructor
Nicky R. Faber,Nicky R. Faber,Adriaan B. Meiborg,Gus R. McFarlane,Gregor Gorjanc,Brock A. Harpur +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that spreading a neutral gene drive in varroa is possible but requires specific colony-level management practices to overcome the challenges of both inbreeding and haplodiploidy, and that the most promising way forward is to use a gene drive which carries a toxin precursor or removes acaricide resistance alleles.
Journal ArticleDOI
The suppressive potential of a gene drive in populations of invasive social wasps is currently limited
TL;DR: In this paper , the effect of different gene drive scenarios on an established invasive population of the Yellow-legged Hornet (Vespa velutina nigrithorax) was investigated.

Nicky R. Faber,Nicky R. Faber,Adriaan B. Meiborg,Gus R. McFarlane,Gregor Gorjanc,Brock A. Harpur +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the potential of gene drive technology to control Varroa mites (Varroa destructor) and suggest that the most promising way forward is to use a gene drive which carries a toxin precursor or removes acaricide resistance alleles.
