SELF-SELECTING STERILE MALE ARTHROPODS

The invention provides a gene expression system that imparts homozygous, sex-specific lethality in arthropods, particularly Tephritid insects, such as Ceratitis capitata. The arthropod strains produce malesthat are also engineered to be sterile. The sterile may be released to mate with wildfemale to...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The invention provides a gene expression system that imparts homozygous, sex-specific lethality in arthropods, particularly Tephritid insects, such as Ceratitis capitata. The arthropod strains produce malesthat are also engineered to be sterile. The sterile may be released to mate with wildfemale to suppress propagation of the arthropod population. La présente invention concerne un système d'expression de gène qui confère la létalité homozygote, spécifique au sexe chez les arthropodes, particulièrement les insectes tephritidés, tels que Ceratitis capitata. Les souches d'arthropode produisent des mâles qui sont également modifiés pour être stériles. Les animaux stériles peuvent être lâchés pour s'accoupler à une femelle sauvage afin de supprimer la propagation de la population d'arthropodes.
