Two male larvae of the malaria vector mosquito Anopheles stephensi showing expression of a green fluorescent protein in their gonads. Differentiating males from females is a crucial aspect of the sterile insect technique (SIT) for mosquito control. Catteruccia et al. describe a genetic sexing technique to identify sterile male mosquitoes for their potential use in SIT programs for controlling malaria, p 1414.
