“…and Klassen & Earle (1970) also found busulphan or myleran, 1,3 propanediol dimethane sulphonate and chlorambucil (4 (p-(2-chloroethyl)amino-)butyric acid) effective as sterilants when fed to male boll-weevils (Anthonomus grandis Boh.). Busulphan was effective when applied by injection to adult house-flies (LaChance et al, 19706) but not to adult Diparopsis . Shaw & Sanchez Riviello (1962) found that chlorambucil sterilised the Mexican fruit-fly {Anastrepha ludens Lw.)…”

In this paper the present status of insect chemosterilants is reviewed. Chemosterilants may be categorised into eight main chemical groups. Practical control measures involving the use of chemosterilants are discussed, also the persistence of these substances when applied to the insect. The gross effects of chemosterilants on insect reproductive systems and also the effects on egg develpment when female insects are mated to chemosterilised males are described, including dominant lethality, reciprocal translocation, enzyme inhibition and sperm inactivation. The possibilities of recovery of fertility and insect resistance to the sterilising effects of chemosterilants are discussed. Endocrine misfunction and chemosterilant action are related. The only practical chemosterilants as control agents are the aziridines although mutagenic hazards associated with these substances preclude their widespread usage. The sterilising activity of certain insect hormone analogues and related substances encourages the belief that safe insect specific sterilising agents can be found.

The effects of chemosterilizing agents on the testes and sperm production and maturation are much less understood than their effects on the ovaries and oogenesis. It was discovered that sterilising male insects with ionising radiation caused the emergence of chromosome-wide or chromatid-specific dominant lethal mutations, which led to the development of the classical male castration techniques1, 2. It was discovered in those investigations that alterations were not frequently found on spermatozoa, but that they were commonly visible in anomalies during the division of the zygote in the fertilised egg2, 3. Dominant lethal mutation in the screw-worm, Cochliomyia hominivorax, were first discussed vividly by LaChance & Riemann (1964)3 and LaChance & Crystal (1965)4, in the most classic experiments ever conducted. Detailed information on and complications related to dominant lethal mutations in insects caused by irradiation and sterilizing agents have been enumerated by LaChance (1967), who has also incorporated a detailed references containing research that dispensed this arena long before the era when chemosterilizing agents were introduced into the scientific community5.
