摘要:
The invention is to methods of gene silencing in arthropods using dsRNA. Themethod is includecontacting the arthropod with, and/or directly feeding thearthropod, the dsRNA to the arthropods to deliver the dsRNA to arthropodtissues. It is envisaged that the methods of the invention will have use indetermining the biological function of genes in arthropods. Methods of pestcontrol of arthropods, and of protecting arthropods against parasites andpredators are provided. Transgenic arthropods expressing dsRNA molecules arealso provided by the present invention.
