Male-killing bacteria as agents of insect pest control
Original language description
Using population models, we assess the potential of combining two pest control techniques: the well-established sterile insect technique (SIT) and a novel male-killing technique, which comprises inoculation of a pest population with bacteria that kill the infected male embryos. For tephritid fruit flies with non-heritable sterility, maximal impact of the SIT is achieved when the released males are fully sterile. Conversely, for lepidopterans with inherited sterility, maximal impact of the SIT is achieved for intermediate irradiation doses. In both cases, high enough vertical transmission efficiency of male-killing bacteria allows for pest eradication where the SIT is absent or induces only pest suppression when used alone. While both techniques can suppress or eliminate the pest on their own, combined application of the male-killing technique and the SIT substantially increases pest control efficiency. If male-killing bacteria are already established in the pest, any assessment of the SIT needs to account for their presence; otherwise, management recommendations could be exaggerated and unnecessarily costly.n
