Mathematical modeling of genetic pest management through female-specific lethality: Is one locus better than two?
Michael R. Vella, Fred Gould, Alun L. Lloyd
This paper compares single- and two-construct female-killing genetic strategies for pest suppression using a population genetics model, finding that two-construct strains can lead to stronger suppression with smaller releases.
