Initie en 2007 en collaboration avec l'Universite de Californie (USA), le projet de recherche relatif a l'utilisation des outils de la biotechnologie comme moyen de lutte contre le Criquet pelerin se fixe comme objectif d'utiliser les methodes modernes de la transformation genetique pour rendre le Criquet pelerin inoffensif lors des phases de son developpement qui le conduisent a la gregarisation et a la migration. Cette methode, qui s'inscrit sur le long terme, pourrait venir en appui aux methodes essentiellement chimiques utilisees actuellement contre le fleau acridien.

Initiated in 2007 in collaboration with the University of California (USA), the research project on the use of biotechnology tools as a means to combat locust has set itself the objective using modern methods of processing genetic to make harmless at Locust phases of development which leads to the gregarizing and migration. This method, which falls in the long term, could come to support the primarily chemical methods currently used against locust.
