“…House-flies sterilised with certain aziridine chemosterilants were reported to be more sexually vigorous than normal males (LaBrecque, . A similar effect was observed in the field behaviour of tepa-treated Anopheles quadrimaculatus , in male Callitroga sterilised by N,N'-tetramethylene bis (1-aziridine carboxamide) (Crystal, 1965a), Lucilia sericata sterilised with apholate (Millar, 1965), Aedes aegypti sterilised with thiotepa (White, 1966), the housefly with m-xylohydroquinone , tsetse fly (Glossina morsitans) with tepa and after apholate treatment of Ephestia cautella (Wlk.) .…”

In this paper the present status of insect chemosterilants is reviewed. Chemosterilants may be categorised into eight main chemical groups. Practical control measures involving the use of chemosterilants are discussed, also the persistence of these substances when applied to the insect. The gross effects of chemosterilants on insect reproductive systems and also the effects on egg develpment when female insects are mated to chemosterilised males are described, including dominant lethality, reciprocal translocation, enzyme inhibition and sperm inactivation. The possibilities of recovery of fertility and insect resistance to the sterilising effects of chemosterilants are discussed. Endocrine misfunction and chemosterilant action are related. The only practical chemosterilants as control agents are the aziridines although mutagenic hazards associated with these substances preclude their widespread usage. The sterilising activity of certain insect hormone analogues and related substances encourages the belief that safe insect specific sterilising agents can be found.

“…Early studies have shown that chemosterilized males are as successful as untreated males in competition for untreated females (LaBrecque et al, 1966;Fye & La-Brecque, 1966). More striking findings show that the treated males are actually more successful than the untreated males in mating with the wild females (La-Brecque et al, 1962;Crystal, 1965;Millar, 1965). Grover & Pillai (1970) phosphoramide) on Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus) (Diptera: Culicidae) and showed that sterilized males were fully competitive.…”

Mating competitiveness and sexual or total competitiveness of males of the house fly, Musca domestica Linnaeus, treated with 1.0% hexamethyl phosphoramide (hempa) were measured quantitatively from direct observations and ratio test methods, respectively. From direct observations, treated males of Cooper and Boxted strains of M. domestica were found to obtain more first matings than untreated males (P <0.01 and P <0.05, respectively) when competing for untreated females, whilst by using the ratio test method under laboratory conditions, total competitiveness values (C) of treated males of the two strains were estimated to be 0.72–0.89 and 0.75–0.97, respectively, at three different ratios from 1:1:1 to 3:1:1.

Doses up to 600 pg of N , N '-hexamethylenebis (I-aziridinecarboxamide) ( E N T 501 72; HMAC) had no effect on the longevity of Luciliu wprinu females up to 10 days post-treatment. Doses 01' 300 and 600 p g caused significant reductions in longevity at 14 and 21 days post-treatment. but did not cause loo?,, mortality. A dose of 32 p g of N . N '-bisaziridinyl-N "-cyclohexylphosphine sulphide (ENT 624x8) killed all treated females within 24 hours and a 16 pg dose significantly alfected mortality within one day.HMAC had no etfect on the competitiveness of males at doses less than 64 pg. but 128 jig induced a highly significant decrease in mating capacity. The sterilant did not atl'ect the receptiveness of females, even when they were treated with 600 jig.
