REACT Horizon Europe Project – Rapid elimination of invasive insect agricultural pests by tackling them with Sterile Insect Technique programs #pestcontrol
🧬 What’s next for the Sterile Insect Technique (#SIT)?
S. Davydova (@imperialcollege) presents her publications on #CRISPR for fruit fly research, supporting the mission of @REACT_insect.

👏 Big congrats to S. Davydova, A. Meccariello & team on their new paper in @BMCBiology !
They present a #CRISPR-based system (SCIC) that boosts #SIT by turning females into sterile males or intersexes — a self-limiting tool to control fruit flies!🧬🍊

The EPPO network of experts working on Agrilus planipennis and some of the EPPO activities in Entomology were presented by Ms Trontin at the 5th workshop of the EURL on insects & mites.
Thank you for the interesting discussions and the fruitful collaboration.

Multiple detections of #Bactroceradorsalis in Belgium highlight the risk of exotic #fruitfly invasions in Europe. The REACT project is working on novel strategies to protect agriculture from invasive pest. https://t.co/Z4WrpvfsSX
A year ago, the #REACT project set out to develop new applications of #SterileInsectTechnique (#SIT) to help protect agriculture from two invasive #fruitfly species. The annual REACT newsletter provides an overview of the progress during the first year. https://t.co/OfTwc4PTn7
