Abstract:The mass production of mosquitoes at an industrial scale requires efficient sex separation, which can be achieved through mechanical, genetic or artificial intelligence means. Compared with others methods, the genetic sexing approach offers the advantage of limiting costs and space by removing females at larval stage. We recently developed a GSS in Aedes albopictus based on the sex linkage of the rdl gene to the M locus, conferring dieldrin resistance in males only. It has been previously reported that dieldri… Show more
