Technology for modifying the genotypes and phenotypes of insects
and other arthropods has steadily progressed with the development
of more precise and powerful methods, most prominently transgenic
modification. For many insect pests, there is now almost unlimited
ability to modify phenotypes to benefit human health and
agriculture. Precise DNA modifications and gene drive have the
power to make wild-type populations less harmful in ways that could
never have been performed with previous transgenic approaches. This
transition from primarily laboratory science to greater application
for field use has also necessitated greater development of
modeling, ethical considerations and regulatory oversight. The 2nd
Edition of Transgenic Insects contains chapters contributed by
experts in the field that cover technologies and applications that
are now possible. This edition includes increased attention to
associated challenges of risk assessment, regulation, and public
engagement. Featuring: Up-to-date analysis of molecular techniques,
such as gene editing. Consideration of public attitudes and
regulatory aspects associated with transgenic insects. Many
examples of the wide range of applications of transgenic insects.
This book will be very valuable to students and researchers in
entomology, molecular biology, genetics, public health and
agriculture, and will also appeal to practitioners who are
implementing the technology, and to regulators, stakeholders and
ethicists.
