Abstract excerpt
Field-female killing (FK) systems based on deleterious mutations and Y-autosome translocations are being evaluated for genetic control of the Australian sheep blowfly, Lucilia cuprina. Experience during field trials has shown that mass-reared colonies of FK strains are subject to genetic deterioration, caused mainly by genetic recombination in males. A previous study found higher male recombination frequencies in...
