Abstract
Preface: development and evaluation of improved strains of insect pests for sterile insect technique (SIT) applications.
Highlights
Pest insects represent an enormous burden to agricultural, veterinary and human health activities in every continent
Managers have indicated that programme efficiency can still be considerably enhanced when certain components of the technology are improved such as, for example, the availability of genetic sexing strains (GSS) against new target species or the development of strains carrying genetic markers which would allow the differentiation of released sterile insects from wild populations

Summary
Pest insects represent an enormous burden to agricultural, veterinary and human health activities in every continent. Managers have indicated that programme efficiency can still be considerably enhanced when certain components of the technology are improved such as, for example, the availability of genetic sexing strains (GSS) against new target species or the development of strains carrying genetic markers which would allow the differentiation of released sterile insects from wild populations.
