RNAi-based gene silencing through dsRNA injection or ingestion against the African sweet potato weevil Cylas puncticollis (Coleoptera: Brentidae)
BACKGROUND. RNA interference (RNAi) technology can potentially serve as a suitable strategy to control the African sweet potato weevil Cylas puncticollis (SPW), which is a critical pest in sub-Saharan Africa. Important prerequisites are required to use RNAi in pest control, such as the presence of a...
