The gene for dieldrin resistance has been artificially male-linked so that females can be selectively killed with dieldrin. By intercrossing different sibling species of the Anopheles gambiae complex, batches consisting of sterile males only can be reared. This seems to have potential for use in genetic control operations.
抗狄氏剂基因已被人工与雄性关联,这样雌性就可以用狄氏剂选择性杀死。通过对冈比亚按蚊复合体的不同同胞物种进行杂交,可以培育出只含不育雄性的批次。这似乎有用于遗传控制操作的潜力。
