The present invention relates to methods for controlling pest infestation using double stranded RNA molecules. The invention provides methods for producing transgenic cells expressing the double stranded RNA molecules, as well as compositions and commodity products containing or treated with such molecules. La présente invention concerne des procédés de lutte contre l'infestation par les nuisibles, lesquels procédés reposent sur l'utilisation de molécules d'ARN double hélice. L'invention propose des procédés permettant de produire des cellules transgénique exprimant ces molécules d'ARN double hélice, ainsi que des compositions et des produits contenant de telles molécules ou traités au moyen de telles molécules.
