Abstract
Sexing Diptera represents a major obstacle to operationalizing vector-control methods based on the mass release of males, such as the sterile insect technique or the incompatible insect technique.The recent progress made in gene editing, as well as the growing understanding of sex-determination pathways in Diptera, offer new perspectives to develop sexing systems in target species that allow female elimination during mass rearing.The...
