Identification and investigation of genes involved in Wolbachia-host interaction and genes for control of pest insects
- Abstract:
-
Insects pose large problems for health and agriculture; several major diseases are transmitted by insect vectors, and huge losses in food production occur due to insect pests. Current strategies for insect control are inadequate, with several disadvantages. Various novel approaches are being developed, aimed at either suppressing wild populations, or replacing them with insects refractory to disease-causing pathogens.
Some possible strategies utilise Wolbachia, a genus of m...
