Long distance transport of irradiated male Glossina palpalis gambiensis pupae and its impact on sterile male yield

Long distance transport of irradiated male Glossina palpalis gambiensis pupae and its impact on sterile male yield

Abstract Background The application of the sterile insect technique (SIT) requires mass-production of sterile males of good biological quality. The size of the project area will in most cases determine whether it is more cost effective to produce the sterile flies locally (and invest in a mass-reari...
