Using Moderate Transgene Expression to Improve the Genetic Sexing System of the Australian Sheep Blow Fly <i>Lucilia cuprina</i>

The sterile insect technique (SIT) is a promising strategy to control the Australian sheep blow fly <i>Lucilia cuprina</i>, a major pest of sheep. We have previously developed a transgenic embryonic sexing system (TESS) for this pest to facilitate the potential SIT application. TESS carr...
