Mathematical modeling of genetic pest management through female‐specific lethality: Is one locus better than two?

Abstract Many novel genetic approaches are under development to combat insect pests. One genetic strategy aims to suppress or locally eliminate a species through large, repeated releases of genetically engineered strains that render female offspring unviable under field conditions. Strains with this...
