The U.S. fought the flesh-eating screwworm for decades. Now it must begin again.
It took the U.S. decades and hundreds of millions of dollars to eradicate the flesh-eating New World screwworm. Here’s the plan to renew the fight now that it’s back.
The United States is preparing to re-engage in a lengthy battle against the New World screwworm, a parasitic insect that feeds on living flesh. Decades of effort and substantial financial investment were previously required to eliminate the pest from the country. The reemergence of the screwworm necessitates the implementation of new strategies and resources to combat its spread.
The return of this destructive pest threatens livestock and potentially wildlife, requiring significant resources and a renewed public health effort.
