Vector Control   WHO Guidance Framework for testing genetically modified mosquitoes by WHO/TDR and FNIH   The Cartagena Protocol   EFSA Guidance on Environmental Considerations for GM animals   The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) is another approach to reduce tsetse populations. This technique is based on the fact that females mate only once in their lifetime, thus any mating with a sterile male will prevent females from giving birth to any offspring.
