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.
author keywords: Functional genomics; reverse genetics; myiasis; New World Screwworm fly; Australian Sheep Blowfly; gene drive; CRISPR; Cas9; brown body; yellow; transformer
MeSH headings : Animals; Animals, Genetically Modified; CRISPR-Cas Systems; Diptera / embryology; Diptera / genetics; Embryo, Nonmammalian; Female; Insect Proteins / genetics; Male; Mutation; Pest Control / methods; RNA, Guide, Kinetoplastida; Sex Determination Processes
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.

TL;DR:
The D. suzukii Sxl gene could be an excellent target for a Cas9-mediated gene drive to suppress populations of this highly destructive pest.

TL;DR:
The isolated gene promoters and pro‐apoptotic genes could potentially be used to build transgenic embryonic sexing strains of calliphorid livestock pests.

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.

Conservation and Sex-Specific Splicing of the transformer Gene in the Calliphorids Cochliomyia hominivorax, Cochliomyia macellaria and Lucilia sericata
PLoS ONE, 8(2), e56303.
Ed(s): G. Tear
MeSH headings : Animals; Base Sequence; Conserved Sequence / genetics; Diptera / genetics; Diptera / growth & development; Diptera / physiology; Female; Genes, Insect / genetics; Male; Molecular Sequence Data; Nucleotide Motifs / genetics; RNA Splicing / genetics; RNA, Messenger / genetics; RNA, Messenger / metabolism; Sex Characteristics
TL;DR:
A model for sex specific regulation of tra splicing is proposed that incorporates the conserved features identified in this study and is proposed to facilitate the development of a “male-only” strain for genetic control programs.

A <i>de novo</i> transcriptome assembly of <i>Lucilia sericata</i> (Diptera: Calliphoridae) with predicted alternative splices, single nucleotide polymorphisms and transcript expression estimates
Insect Molecular Biology, 21(2), 205–221.
author keywords: Drosophila; Lucilia; transcriptome; de novo assembly; alternative splice; transposable element
