The New World Screwworm is yet another pestilence/disease that was once eradicated in the United States only to be reintroduced by poor border control. Back in the 1950s, a massive project to interrupt the life-cyle of the pest by introducing a critical mass of sterile flies, was surprisingly effective. By the mid-1960s, NWS was no longer a thing in the US & Canada (although they still persisted in parts of Mexico for another 40+ years)….until Joe Biden’s tenure.
