Summary:
This session was the first to cover the topic of transgenic insects in any of the International Symposia on the Biosafety of Genetically Modified Organisms. The objectives were to provide an overview of the goals of various programs around the world that would involve the use of transgenic insects or other arthropods in applied pest management programs. The five speakers were asked to review the goals of programs and the risk issues that might be associated with specific transgenic insects. Although the session did not include speakers representing all the programs in progress, it provided an overview of the diversity of goals, methods, and progress towards implementation.
