Abstract
A method for releasing genetically altered strains of Lucilia cuprina (Wied.) as free-falling larvae from aircraft was tested. Full-fed genetically marked third-instar larvae were released from aircraft flying at a height of 150 m and speeds of 120 or 220 km/h. Progeny tests of adult flies trapped subsequently indicated that released male larvae survived to the adult stage and were competitive with wild males for females.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
