Developing heterospecific Sterile Insect Technique for pest control: insights from the spotted wing fly Drosophila suzukii

Flavia Cerasti, Massimo Cristofaro, Valentina Mastrantonio, Jessica Scifo, Adriano Verna, Daniele Canestrelli, Daniele Porretta

This study explores using heterospecific sterile males to control Drosophila suzukii by exploiting reproductive interference, showing they reduce pest fitness through mating.

Advancing Heterospecific Sterile Insect Technique Against Drosophila suzukii: selection of the optimal irradiation dose for D. melanogaster males

Flavia Cerasti, Valentina Mastrantonio, Alessia Cemmi, Ilaria Di Sarcina, Massimo Cristofaro, Daniele Porretta

This study identifies 80 Gy as the optimal irradiation dose for D. melanogaster males to suppress D. suzukii populations by balancing sterility, longevity, and mating performance.
