Abstract
In this issue of Science , two reports (pp. 2002 and 2005 ) describe the first successful transformation of the Mediterranean fruit fly, a serious pest for coffee and fruit growers. In his Perspective, M. Ashburner gives some historical background and explains why this may allow better control of this (and other) insects.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
