A conditional female lethal system for genetic suppression of the global fruit crop pest <scp><i>Drosophila suzukii
Pest Management Science, 77(11), 4915–4922.
author keywords: Drosophila suzukii; spotted wing Drosophila; sterile insect technique; fsRIDL; tet-OFF; alternate splicing
MeSH headings : Animals; Drosophila / genetics; Fruit; Housing, Animal; Rubus; Suppression, Genetic
TL;DR:
It is shown that repeated releases of an excess of transgenic males can suppress D. suzukii populations in laboratory cage trials and suggests that the transgenic strain could provide an effective approach for control of this invasive pest of soft-skinned fruits.

Specific Gene Disruption in the Major Livestock Pests<i>Cochliomyia hominivorax</i>and<i>Lucilia cuprina</i>Using CRISPR/Cas9
G3 Genes|Genomes|Genetics, 9(9), 3045–3055.

TL;DR:
The CRISPR protocol described here is a significant improvement on the existing toolkit of molecular methods in calliphorids and suggests that Cas9-based systems targeting Chtra and Lctra could be an effective means for controlling natural populations of these important pests.

no blokes Is Essential for Male Viability and X Chromosome Gene Expression in the Australian Sheep Blowfly
Current Biology, 28(12), 1987–1992.e3.
MeSH headings : Animals; Diptera / genetics; Diptera / physiology; Dosage Compensation, Genetic / genetics; Female; Gene Expression; Genes, Insect / genetics; Genes, X-Linked / genetics; Male; X Chromosome / genetics
TL;DR:
This study supports the hypothesis on the origin of the Drosophila 4th chromosome and that a POF-like protein was required for normal gene expression on the ancient X chromosome and suggests that NBL could be important for X chromosome dosage compensation in L. cuprina.

Dosage Compensation of X-Linked Muller Element F Genes but Not X-Linked Transgenes in the Australian Sheep Blowfly
PLOS ONE, 10(10), e0141544.
Ed(s): G. Marais
MeSH headings : Animals; Animals, Genetically Modified; Diptera / genetics; Dosage Compensation, Genetic; Drosophila melanogaster / genetics; Female; Gene Expression Regulation, Developmental; Genes, X-Linked / genetics; Larva; Male; X Chromosome / genetics
TL;DR:
It appears that the Lucilia dosage compensation system is specific for genes endogenous to the X chromosome and cannot be co-opted by recently arrived transgenes.

Transgenic sexing system for genetic control of the Australian sheep blow fly Lucilia cuprina
Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 51, 80–88.
author keywords: Sterile insect technique; Transgenic; Lucilia cuprina; Flystrike; Genetic sexing
MeSH headings : Animals; Animals, Genetically Modified; Diptera / genetics; Female; Genes, Insect; Genes, Lethal; Male; Pest Control, Biological / methods; Sex Determination Processes
TL;DR:
Transgenic strains of L. cuprina that carry a dominant tetracycline repressible female lethal genetic system are developed and should be readily transferrable to other major calliphorid livestock pests including the New and Old World screwworm.
