This work evaluated the genetic damage in descendants of male pupae of Aedes (Stegomyia) aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) separately exposed to 20, 30, and 40 Gy of gamma radiation in the context of Sterile Insect Technique (SIT). Despite the transmission of the dominant lethal mutation, the employed dose levels did not promote a marked reduction in adult mosquito emergence and fertility. This study emphasized that semi-sterilizing doses < 50 Gy for SIT of Aedes aegypti are not recommended.
本研究评估了在不育昆虫技术(SIT)背景下,分别接受 20、30 和 40 戈瑞γ射线辐射的埃及伊蚊雄蛹后代的遗传损伤。尽管显性致死突变的传递,但所采用的剂量水平并没有显著降低成蚊的出现率和生育力。本研究强调,对于埃及伊蚊的 SIT,不建议使用小于 50 戈瑞的半绝育剂量。
