This book comprehensively reviews the transformative potential of genome editing in insect pest management. The introductory chapter explores the importance of genome sequencing and its role in understanding pest biology and control. The subsequent chapters provide a thorough examination of CRISPR/Cas9 and other genome editing tools, discussing ethical and regulatory aspects. The following chapters introduce precision pest control strategies, including gene drive technologies and enhanced sterile insect techniques, and discuss integrating omics into integrated pest management (IPM) strategies. Sterile insect technique (SIT) enhanced with genome editing, its limitations, and various applications in pest control are discussed. The final chapter reviews the challenges, ethical considerations, risk assessment, safety protocols, biosecurity measures, the need for regulatory frameworks, and international cooperation in genome editing for pest management. As such, this book is a valuable source for scientists, researchers, and professionals in the fields of entomology, genetics, and agricultural science.
