摘要
The sterile insect technique being tested in Ethiopia relies on two the most formidable forces in the world: atomic energy and sex. Gamma radiation helps make male insects sterile, and sexual attraction ensures that released en masse, they will find females even in the most remote hideouts. SIT is also widely used to prevent or suppress infestations of the Mediterranean fruit fly.
