Screwworm Eradication Program Records for the Southeastern United States. Special Collections, USDA National Agricultural Library.

The Screwworm Eradication Program includes U.S. domestic and international agricultural programs to eliminate the New World screwworm (Cochliomyia americana) from the North American continent. A flesh-eating pest of warm-blooded animals, the screwworm was brought under control using Sterile Insect Technique, which emphasizes biological control methods. The technique used in screwworm eradication involves raising large numbers of sterile flies in production facilities. The sterile flies are then released into the wild fertile population to overwhelm and eliminate it through interbreeding.
