Book Description
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.
