Induction of dominant lethal mutations for control of the facefly, Musca autumnalis DeGeer.

Medical and veterinary entomology - 1 Apr 1991

Mansour Y M, Krafsur E S

Abstract excerpt

1. Application of the sterile insect technique (SIT) to the facefly, Musca autumnalis DeGeer, is considered. 2. Six-day-old pupae were exposed to ionizing irradiation at doses in the range 100-1600 rads, each treatment being replicated six times. 3. Eclosion was unaffected but fecundity and fertility was inversely proportional to the radiation dose. 4. 1600 rads gave 97% dominant lethality of sperm in treated...
