Description:
Insects fulfill fundamental roles for the preservation of ecosystems such as pollination, but also represent key agricultural pests and human disease vectors accounting for immense economic losses and approximately one million deaths annually. While conventional strategies often entail environmentally damaging side effects and have failed to provide sustainable solutions to control insect pest and vector populations, the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) has proven to be a powerful, species-specific and therefore environmentally sound tool in insect pest management. The principle of SIT is bas...
