註釋Chandler James Whitten (1939- ) began working at the Mission, Texas, research center in 1974. His primary task was developing strains for use in mass sterile fly releases. Whitten had previous experience with organophosphate resistance. Whitten describes in detail the process of how they conducted genetic analysis of strains, as well as why the development of new strains was important to the project. Whitten's research group worked on the attractant system SWORMLURE and tried to develop a genetic sexing mechanism, which would separate males from female flies and make the sterilization process more effective. -- Whitten helped establish a screwworm research lab in Fargo, North Dakota, when the Mission, Texas, plant closed in 1980. He later returned to Tuxtla Gutierrez, Mexico, to continue work on developing strains for the extended Central American eradication in Panama. Whitten discusses the important interactions with ranchers.
