Genetic elimination of field-cage populations of Mediterranean fruit flies
PT Leftwich, M Koukidou…�- …�of the Royal�…, 2014 - royalsocietypublishing.org
The Mediterranean fruit fly (medfly, Ceratitis capitata Wiedemann) is a pest of over 300 fruits,
vegetables and nuts. The sterile insect technique (SIT) is a control measure used to reduce
the reproductive potential of populations through the mass release of sterilized male insects
that mate with wild females. However, SIT flies can display poor field performance, due to
the effects of mass-rearing and of the irradiation process used for sterilization. The
development of female-lethal RIDL (release of insects carrying a dominant lethal) strains for�…
