昆虫不育技术是一种不需要过量使用化学农药就能控制甚至根除农业和兽医害虫的环保方法。然而，持续生产和释放不育昆虫在经济上是昂贵的，并且由于不育昆虫的不完全交配能力，使用不育昆虫的根除计划并不总是成功的。在此，我们将重点研究种间负交配相互作用（即生殖干扰）的理论和实证结果，以制定更具成本效益和增值的害虫管理计划。我们认为，不育昆虫可以利用物种识别能力不完全、求偶和交配往往被误导到异种的事实，同时控制野生型同种和近缘种害虫。这种新方法可能有助于减轻害虫造成的经济损失和人类健康危机。(c) 2018年化学工业学会
The sterile insect technique is an environmentally friendly method to control and even eradicate agricultural and veterinary insect pests without using chemical pesticides in excess. However, the continuous production and release of sterile insects is economically costly and eradication programs using sterile insects have not always been successful owing to the incomplete mating ability of the sterile insects. Here we focus on the theory and empirical findings of interspecific negative mating interaction, known as reproductive interference, to develop a more cost-effective and value-added pest management program. We suggest that sterile insects can be used for simultaneous control of both wild-type conspecifics and closely related pest species by taking advantage of the fact that, when species recognition abilities are incomplete, courtship and mating are often misdirected toward heterospecies. This new approach might help mitigate economic damage and human health crises caused by pest insects. (c) 2018 Society of Chemical Industry
