Guoliang Fu,Rosemary Susan Lees,Derric Nimmo,Diane Aw,Li Jin,Pam Gray,Thomas U. Berendonk,Helen White-Cooper,Sarah Scaife,Hoang Kim Phuc,Osvaldo Marinotti,Nijole Jasinskiene,Anthony A. James,Luke Alphey +13 more
TL;DR: Transgenic strains of Aedes aegypti engineered to have a repressible female-specific flightless phenotype are expected to facilitate area-wide control or elimination of dengue if adopted as part of an integrated pest management strategy.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The engineered strain showed similar field longevity to an unmodified counterpart, though in this setting dispersal was reduced relative to the unmodified strain, which is encouraging for the future testing and implementation of genetic control strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Back to the future: the sterile insect technique against mosquito disease vectors.
TL;DR: Until perfect sexing mechanisms exist, combination of Wolbachia-induced phenotypes, such as cytoplasmic incompatibility and pathogen interference, and irradiation may prove to be the safest solution for population suppression.
Journal ArticleDOI
More than one rabbit out of the hat: Radiation, transgenic and symbiont-based approaches for sustainable management of mosquito and tsetse fly populations
TL;DR: The integration of the sterile insect technique has proven successful to manage crop pests and disease vectors, particularly tsetse flies, and is likely to prove effective against mosquito vectors,particularly once sex-separation methods are improved.
