Self-contained gamma irradiators have been extensively used to reproductively sterilize insects for the sterile insect technique (SIT). More recently, the use of X-ray generators has gained attention due to the reduced investment, logistic, regulatory and safety requirements involved in the procurement, transport and operation of these machines compared with gamma irradiators. In this study, we evaluated a commercially available, “off-the-shelf” X-ray blood irradiator and found it suitable for insect irradiation in the frame of the SIT.
