Study Validates More Trap Options to Detect New World Screwworm Flies

As New World screwworm flies (Cochliomyia hominivorax, male pinned specimen shown here) spread northward again, researchers say two versions of a trap originally designed to catch tsetse flies in Africa are also effective for catching screwworm flies. The traps also preserve caught specimens better than traditional sticky traps, offering a promising boost to early-warning surveillance efforts. (Photo by Paul Langlois, USDA APHIS ITP, Bugwood.org) By Andrew Porterfield Andrew Porterfield Beginning in the 1960s, the New World screwworm fly (Cochliomyia hominivorax) was eradicated in North America, first in the U.S. and then progressively southward to the Darien Gap in southern Panama by the early 2000s. It then remained endemic but controlled in every country in South America except Chile. However, recent outbreaks have been recorded across central America and Mexico, and in June 2026 the fly was identified in Texas and New Mexico. Screwworm fly infestations, which involve the flies laying eggs in wounds of warm-blooded animals (usually livestock) and the subsequent flesh-eating activity of the larvae, could cost cattle producers $4.3 billion a year, and $10.6 billion in total economic losses, in the United States. Pesticides have not been overly effective against the fly, and containment has been achieved by

#nvidia #techcareer #lifesatisfaction #careertransition #bigtech | Business Insider – LinkedIn

Business Insider’s Post When Antons Davis worked at NVIDIA, he was leading the user experience for one of the company's flagship software products, collaborating with teams to build cutting-edge experiences for gamers. On paper, it looked like he had reached a major career milestone, but internally he said he felt increasingly disconnected from his work. A big reason for that was realizing he had already achieved the financial goals he set for himself as a kid. He wanted to own a home, support his parents financially, and give his family the peace of mind that comes from never having to think twice about everyday financial decisions. At Nvidia, he achieved those things. What surprised him was that once those goals were checked off, he expected to feel complete. Instead, he felt like something was missing. Read more about his decision to leave the company — and what he’s learned since — on Business Insider: https://lnkd.in/eynxWy9J (Credit: Cynthia Smalley Photography) #Nvidia #techcareer #lifesatisfaction #careertransition #BigTech See more comments More from this author Explore content categories
