[Perspectives of use of genetic methods of control of bloodsucking Diptera - vectors of the diseases of man].

This paper presents genetic methods of control of bloodsucking Diptera, mosquitoes. The perspective of the use of various control methods, first of all those tested under field conditions in application for bloodsuckers which are of medical importance throughout the USSR, is regarded. The opinion is suggested that the method of X-ray sterilization of pupae taken from nature and the translocation and chemical sterilization methods can be successfully used for the control of An. m. sacharovi, malaria vectors resistant to DDT. The male sterilization method and the use of males cytoplasmatically incompatible with translocations are suggested for the control of synanthropic populations of C. pipiens.
