(US20180010130) What is claimed is: 1. A composition for controlling insects, comprising double-stranded RNA molecules, wherein said double-stranded RNA molecules encode the small or large ribosomal subunit, wherein said double stranded RNA molecules of said small ribosomal subunit are produced by transcription of nucleic acid sequences encoding a region of the insect ribosomal protein RPS 6, with the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 230, and wherein said large ribosomal subunit are produced by transcription of nucleic acid sequences encoding a region of the insect ribosomal protein RPS 26, with the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 231. 2. The composition of claim 1, wherein said composition comprises one or more double-stranded RNA molecules encoding mosquito ribosomal proteins, wherein said double-stranded RNA molecules are transcribed from nucleic acid sequences selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID Nos. 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 25, 28, 31, 34, 37, 40, 43, 46, 49, 52, 55, 58, 61, 64, 67, 70, 73, 76, 79, 82, 85, 88, 91, 94, 97, 100, 103, 106, 109, 112, 115, 121, 124, 127, 130, 133, 136, 139, 142, 146, 149, 152, 155, 158, 161, 164, 167, 170, 173, 176, 179, 182, 185, 188, 191, 194, 197, 200, 203, 206, 209 and 212. 3. The composition of claim 1, wherein said double-stranded RNA is incorporated into insect bait. 4. The composition of claim 1, wherein said double-stranded RNA molecule is included in and expressed from a viral vector. 5. The composition of claim 7, wherein said viral vector is baculovirus vector system. 6. A method of controlling insect populations, comprising inhibiting RNA encoding ribosomal proteins by exposing insects to a formulation comprising the composition of claim 1. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein said formulation is incorporated in insect bait. 8. The method of claim 6, wherein said formulation comprises one or more double-stranded RNA, wherein said double-stranded RNA molecules are transcribed from the nucleic acid sequences selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID Nos. 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 25, 28, 31, 34, 37, 40, 43, 46, 49, 52, 55, 58, 61, 64, 67, 70, 73, 79, 82, 85, 88, 91, 94, 97, 100, 103, 106, 109, 112, 115, 121, 124, 127, 130, 133, 136, 139, 142, 146, 149, 152, 155, 158, 161, 164, 167, 170, 173, 176, 179, 182, 185, 188, 191, 194, 197, 200, 203, 206, 209, 212, 230, and 231. 9. The method of claim 6, wherein said composition is expressed from an insect vector 10. The method of claim 9, wherein said insect vector is baculovirus expression system.
