Book excerpt: Excerpt from Progress in Screwworm Eradication Screwworms are the larvae, or maggots, of the screwworm fly. They are a serious pest of warmblooded animals - livestock, pets, wildlife, and even humans. They closely resemble common blowfly maggots. But unlike blowfly maggots - which feed on carrion or dead or diseased tissue - screwworms consume the healthy flesh of the warmblooded animals they infest. Screwworms are found in open untreated wounds. The female fly lays a mass of eggs on the edge of a wound. Larvae hatch from these eggs and burrow into the flesh, where they feed. Mature larvae drop to the ground and pass through their pupal stage in the soil. Later - usually in about 10 days, but sometimes as much as 60 days, depending on the weather - they emerge from the soil as flies. Within days the flies mate, and begin infesting livestock with a new generation of screwworms. Screwworms seriously injure, maim, or kill infested animals, particularly if wounds are untreated and become reinfested. Screwworm larvae feed continuously. They grow from nearly microscopic size to about one-half inch in length, and in the process greatly enlarge the wound. This destructive parasite was a major pest throughout the southern and southwestern States, and today is still found in Mexico, Central and South America, and the Greater Antilles Islands.

Download or read book Facts about the Screwworm Barrier Program Classic Reprint written by U. S. Agricultural Research Service and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-30 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Facts About the Screwworm Barrier Program The screwworm is a destructive parasite of warmblooded animals that has been dreaded by livestock producers since pioneer days. Screwworms are attracted to and deposit their eggs in open wounds of domestic and wild animals and man. Screwworm larvae (maggots) hatch in the wounds and devour the flesh of the living host animal, causing weight losses, general reduction in productivity, maiming, and ire quently death. Before large-scale control measures were launched by the u.s. Department of Agriculture in cooperation with the affected States, annual losses to the livestock industry from screwworms sometimes rose to many millions of dollars. Screwworm losses among wildlife were also high. The last-remaining established infestations of screwworms were eradicated from the United States in 1966 as a result of all-out campaigns in the Southeast and in the Southwest. Although the eradication goal has been reached, the battle against the screwworm is still far from ended. Mexico and other countries to the south still have established populations of screw worms. The task now is to keep the screwworm from gaining a foothold once again in the United States. This could happen with disastrous results to livestock producers and related industries unless strong defense against the screwworm are maintained.

Download or read book Sterile Insect Technique written by Victor A. Dyck and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-01-06 with total page 1493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sterile insect technique (SIT) is an environment-friendly method of pest control that integrates well into area-wide integrated pest management (AW-IPM) programmes. This book takes a generic, thematic, comprehensive, and global approach in describing the principles and practice of the SIT. The strengths and weaknesses, and successes and failures, of the SIT are evaluated openly and fairly from a scientific perspective. The SIT is applicable to some major pests of plant-, animal-, and human-health importance, and criteria are provided to guide in the selection of pests appropriate for the SIT. In the second edition, all aspects of the SIT have been updated and the content considerably expanded. A great variety of subjects is covered, from the history of the SIT to improved prospects for its future application. The major chapters discuss the principles and technical components of applying sterile insects. The four main strategic options in using the SIT — suppression, containment, prevention, and eradication — with examples of each option are described in detail. Other chapters deal with supportive technologies, economic, environmental, and management considerations, and the socio-economic impact of AW-IPM programmes that integrate the SIT. In addition, this second edition includes six new chapters covering the latest developments in the technology: managing pathogens in insect mass-rearing, using symbionts and modern molecular technologies in support of the SIT, applying post-factory nutritional, hormonal, and semiochemical treatments, applying the SIT to eradicate outbreaks of invasive pests, and using the SIT against mosquito vectors of disease. This book will be useful reading for students in animal-, human-, and plant-health courses. The in-depth reviews of all aspects of the SIT and its integration into AW-IPM programmes, complete with extensive lists of scientific references, will be of great value to researchers, teachers, animal-, human-, and plant-health practitioners, and policy makers.
