Geographic distribution of sex chromosome polymorphism in Anastrepha fraterculus sp. 1 from Argentina
Giardini M, Nieves M, Scannapieco A, Conte C, Milla F, Schapovaloff M, et al.
BMC Genet . 2020 Dec; 21(Suppl 2):149. PMID: 33339514
Background: Anastrepha fraterculus is recognized as a quarantine pest in several American countries. This fruit fly species is native to the American continent and distributed throughout tropical and subtropical regions....

Development and characterization of a pupal-colour based genetic sexing strain of Anastrepha fraterculus sp. 1 (Diptera: Tephritidae)
Meza J, Bourtzis K, Zacharopoulou A, Gariou-Papalexiou A, Caceres C
BMC Genet . 2020 Dec; 21(Suppl 2):134. PMID: 33339513
Background: Area-wide integrated pest management programs (AW-IPM) incorporating sterile insect technique (SIT) have been successful in suppressing populations of different fruit fly species during the last six decades. In addition,...

Improvement on the genetic engineering of an invasive agricultural pest insect, the cherry vinegar fly, Drosophila suzukii
Ahmed H, Heese F, Wimmer E
BMC Genet . 2020 Dec; 21(Suppl 2):139. PMID: 33339511
Background: The invasive fly Drosophila suzukii has become an established fruit pest in Europe, the USA, and South America with no effective and safe pest management. Genetic engineering enables the...

Precise single base substitution in the shibire gene by CRISPR/Cas9-mediated homology directed repair in Bactrocera tryoni
Choo A, Fung E, Chen I, Saint R, Crisp P, Baxter S
BMC Genet . 2020 Dec; 21(Suppl 2):127. PMID: 33339510
Background: Pest eradication using the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) involves high-density releases of sterilized males that mate with wild females and ultimately suppress the population. Sterilized females are not required...

Climate stress resistance in male Queensland fruit fly varies among populations of diverse geographic origins and changes during domestication
Popa-Baez A, Lee S, Yeap H, Prasad S, Schiffer M, Mourant R, et al.
BMC Genet . 2020 Dec; 21(Suppl 2):135. PMID: 33339509
Background: The highly polyphagous Queensland fruit fly (Bactrocera tryoni Froggatt) expanded its range substantially during the twentieth century and is now the most economically important insect pest of Australian horticulture,...

Genetic structure and symbiotic profile of worldwide natural populations of the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata
Nikolouli K, Augustinos A, Stathopoulou P, Asimakis E, Mintzas A, Bourtzis K, et al.
BMC Genet . 2020 Dec; 21(Suppl 2):128. PMID: 33339507
Background: The Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata, is a cosmopolitan agricultural pest of worldwide economic importance and a model for the development of the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) for fruit...

Building a transgenic sexing strain for genetic control of the Australian sheep blow fly Lucilia cuprina using two lethal effectors
Yan Y, Scott M
BMC Genet . 2020 Dec; 21(Suppl 2):141. PMID: 33339506
Background: The sterile insect technique (SIT) has been successfully used in many pest management programs worldwide. Some SIT programs release both sexes due to the lack of genetic sexing strains...

Transcriptome analysis of Anastrepha fraterculus sp. 1 males, females, and embryos: insights into development, courtship, and reproduction
Scannapieco A, Conte C, Rivarola M, Wulff J, Muntaabski I, Ribone A, et al.
BMC Genet . 2020 Dec; 21(Suppl 2):136. PMID: 33339505
Background: Anastrepha fraterculus sp. 1 is considered a quarantine pest in several American countries. Since chemical control applied in an integrated pest management program is the only strategy utilized against...

Irradiation induced inversions suppress recombination between the M locus and morphological markers in Aedes aegypti
Augustinos A, Misbah-Ul-Haq M, Carvalho D, Duran de la Fuente L, Koskinioti P, Bourtzis K
BMC Genet . 2020 Dec; 21(Suppl 2):142. PMID: 33339503
Background: Aedes aegypti is the primary vector of arthropod-borne viruses and one of the most widespread and invasive mosquito species. Due to the lack of efficient specific drugs or vaccination...
