Sex Determination in Agricultural Pest Insects and Genetic Control Strategies
The dipteran Tephritidae family includes dozens of major agricultural pest species, including the mediterranean fruitfly Ceratitis capitata (medfly). The genetic control of these species can be based on the release of sterile males, following their sexing from females.
