The reason as to why scientists are trying to eradicate the pest is due to teh fact that it mainly affects cattle, which is a huge industry in the US.

The pest can also afffect other warm-blooded animals and can even affect humans aswell

The scientists grow the flies in labs to examine them and understand them and to see what best kills them.

A species of fly has been moving to South America, and people are worried that it might cross the boarder and go into Texas.

The fly lays eggs in the wounds of animals and then it eats them from the inside out.

The flies lay their eggs in warm-blooded animals, which includes humans.

Screwworms are insanely dangerous and their method of harming people/animals is laying eggs in open wounds and the larvae eat the animal from the inside out.

Scientists came up with a strategy on how to stop the fly, they drop millions of male bugs out of airplanes which are sterilized by radiation in order to make them not reproduce and crash the population since the females can only mate once.

Screwworms were eradicated in the U.S. but are coming up north from South America and Central America and Mexico.

Screwworms are dangerous to animals and sometimes humans, their method of harming them is to lay eggs in open wounds, then the larvae eat them from the inside out.

I wonder what would happen if the pest took over the livestock industry. How would our country look.

I wonder what the ultimate solution for the pest's spreading will be

I wonder who is spreading conspiracy theories about the pests and what their intentions behind them are.

I noticed that there was an outbreak of the New World screwworm fly, which was eradicated from the US in '70s.

The way this fly eats its victims will start from the inside out and would lay their eggs in the wounds of animals.

The scientists tried to come up with strategies to stop the fly by doing control pests and dropping millions of bugs out of airplanes because these dangerous flies affect the industries greatly especially the agricultural sector.

These flies that are impacting cattle can also impact dogs and cats.

The fly lays eggs in the wounds of animals and slowly eats its victims from the inside out.

If these flies keep on spreading there will be a huge impact to our industries.

I wonder why the flies started to lay eggs in animal wounds in the first place.

I wonder how much longer the flies will be a problem to the livestock industry.

I wonder if people would die if the flies decided to lay eggs in their wounds.

There are pests slowly eating animals from the insides out

These pests that have been eradicated from the U.S decades ago but are resurfacing in the north of South America and Mexico. Texas borders are at risk of inhabiting these pests.

Humans are at risk of these pests as well since they don't only target animals

I noticed that these flies will lay there eggs in all warm blooded animals even humans and will eat you from the inside if you have a open wound.

There are only 2 species of this kind in the world and are a huge threat because they can attack anyone.

They were discovered in the mid 1800's and scientists started working on how to manage these flies in the 1930's.

Screwworms were previously eradicated from the U.S. in the '70s, but are now moving north from South America into Central America and Mexico, bringing concerns that it may return to the states.

The flies need to be eradicated again as they will impact industries. Because they harm animals, like cattle, it will harm the cattle industry in the United States and harm the livestock. It not only includes cattle but all warm-blooded animals, even dog and cats.

Though these flies were being managed in Panama for 33 years, they have been releasing these deadly insects from planes and release them in an area where there is a confirmed infestation, or an animal has a larva present in that specific area.

Screwworm was 'eradicated' in the 70s in the United States, so its comeback is concerning

The reason why we don't like them is because they lay eggs in the wounds of animals and their young eat them slowly from the inside

Screwworms lay eggs in warm blooded animals, which includes dogs, cats, and us too.

I wonder how the flies will be eradicated again.

I wonder if there is a specific victim they are looking for.

I wonder how exactly they came back again to the United States.

I wonder how we can fully eliminate them in a safe manner?

I wonder what would happen if they do take over the livestock and how it would effect us.

I wonder what happens if they lay eggs in humans?

I wonder how long it took scientists to be able to grow the flies from inside a laboratory.

I wonder if the sterilized male technique would still work if an outbreak occurred and how well it would do against the spread.

I wonder if the sterilized males only go for screwworms or if they also interact with other insect species.

I wonder what makes the flies lay eggs in open wounds.

I wonder if climate change is a reason why they are coming up north.

I wonder how long it took scientists to grow flies from a laboratory.

Why and how did this fly find out it can just lay eggs in animals so they don't have to take care of their young?

Why don't they mate with other species?

If we can just get rid of them without impact to the ecosystem, are there any other pests that could have similar risk?

I wonder what would happen if humans got infected by the flies.

I wonder what would happen to our country if they effect our livestock.

I wonder how these flies started to exist.

The flies are laying eggs inside the wounds of animals that have a decent amount of warmth for their eggs.

People are worried about whether it's going to affect any living animal when the flies start spreading around certain places.

These flies lay their eggs on humans, dogs, and cats, which can be a severe danger to their health.

I wonder if the flies had the advantage to take over the livestock

I wonder if a human got infected with the flies, what would be the symptoms or health complications

I wonder who the first person who found out about these flies knew what they could do.

These flies are threatening to individuals, due to them deposing eggs into wounds of organisms that we consume being a threat to our health.

These flies can be eradicated in their pupal stage by subjected irradiation exposure, which then damages their chromosomes not getting them to produce children.

Individuals could tell if an animal is infested by a screwworm due to their wound having larvae in it.

I wonder if there's some sort of sprays or creams that can be put on animals or humans to avoid any contact with this type of insect, so we can't be harmed by them?

I wonder why we never seen these screwworms or have we just mistaken them for normal flies?

I wonder if we don't do anything about screwworms, will the population start increasing while more animals and humans are being infested?

The screwworm can threaten the food supply, since it can lay eggs on cows.

The flies only mate once in their life, so by making mating ineffective the population shrunk in the United States.

The flies prefer to live in tropical regions which is why they are heading north.

I wonder if a certain injection or medicine can be made to prevent the harm of them on animals and livestock.

I wonder if different continents experience the same problem with these screwworms, or have a dangerous insect of their own.

I wonder if the reaction of livestock obtaining screwworms is similar if a human happens to get them.

The New World Screwworm is an insanely dangerous species that can harm both humans and animals due to them being attracted to warm-blooded mammals.

This screwworm lays its eggs in open wounds, and the larvae eat the animal from the inside out.

Although the screwworm was eradicated in the 1970s, it is now coming back up north from South America, Mexico, and the U.S. It is likely that it is coming back up because of climate change.

What would be the symptoms if the screwworm were to infect a human?.

Is climate change the only cause of them coming back up?

Will scientists try different ways to eradicate them once more?.

I wonder if the screwworms can be used for something useful?

I wonder why the flies only mate once?

I wonder if the flies will be a bigger threat to life in the future?

Screwworm was eradicated from the US back in the 70s, but nowadays it has increased and it has been moving further north into Central America and Mexico, going towards the US border.

Those flies lay their eggs in all warm-blooded animals.

Scientists started to manage these flies around the 1930s to 50s.

I wonder how those flies started to exist,

I wonder now that science is more advanced, could scientists find a way to kill screwworms?

I wonder if other continents have the same issue, and if they are worse?

I wonder how these pest resurfaced after being eradicated from the U.S decades ago.

I wonder why these pests started laying eggs in animals so they wouldn't have to take care of their young.

I wonder if humans could find a cure or type of treatment in the case of these pests infecting them.

Screwworms have been a problem since the 1900s and seem to be getting closer to approaching the U.S., although they have been eradicated.

Screwworms pose a danger to everyone in concern to their pets or livestock, and possibly themselves since they go after warm-blooded organisms.

There isn't an exact reason or explanation as to why Screwworms are coming up north, except for the idea that it may be because they prefer places with milder winters.

How did the Screwworm affect other countries, and what was their reaction to the pest?

Where did Screwworms first originate from?

If Screwworms were to enter the U.S., what would be the plan to eradicate them, and would it be different from their current plan with radiation?

I noticed that although there are many other pests in our ecosystem, screwworms are a more dire problem due to their effect on livestock, which plays a large role in the US.

I noticed the deep research that went into the solution for screwworms, first it was acknowledging their role in food chains to not heavily disrupt ecosystems but as well as understanding their behavior to better eradicate them.

I noticed how these insects are not a new problem and have been around for years, but in a more controllable form, although as the population increased more there was a motivation for more serious action.

I wonder if other insects have yet to be recognized in the same light as screwworm flies.

I wonder what could occur to other areas if screwworm flies were to be introduced to an area with no livestock, would they be more likely to attack humans?

I wonder about the conspiracy theories that have been spread.

a species of flies may cross the border and go into texas this is causing people to worry

screwworms lay eggs in open wounds of animals which then cause the animals to be eaten inside out by the larvae

screwworms don’t just target animals they target people

I wonder what will happen if there was a big outbreak of these pests in the US

I wonder what would happen to food industries if these pests wipe out large groups of cows

I wonder if this group of pests will ever go extinct

Screwworms greatly impact the livestock industry and other warm-blooded animals as well.

Screwworms have been kept in an area in Panama for over 30 years, but they are now moving north.

The lack of education on this makes people scared, which also makes them create theories surrounding this situation.

I wonder what would happen if the screwworms evolved enough to not be affected by the radiation anymore.

I wonder what will happen if the screwworms end up growing hugely in population and how it would impact the livestock industry.

I wonder if the screwworms will be able to be kept again in the spot in Panama like before.

What I noticed while reading the article was that screwworms are known for laying eggs in the injuries or wounds of warm blooded animals, eating away at animals slowly.

Also that the management program for these flies is located in Mexico funded by the United States and were managed and maintained for 33 years with no issues.

Another thing was that there are two types of these flies which are new screwworms and old screwworms. New screwwroms are located on our side of the planet and old screwworms are on the opposite side, countries like Europe and Africa.

I wonder how long it will take to eradicate this species of flies

I wonder what would happen if flies adapted to the attempt of sterilizing the males and start to procreate with other mates

I wonder if they tried other potential faster solutions to eradicate these screwworms

The New World Screwworm species was eradicated from the U.S. decades ago.

The New World Screwworm is a tropical fly that is capable of surviving in the Southern U.S.

The Screwworm is a huge threat since it lays its eggs into wounds of the living eating them from the inside out.

I wonder how the species were eradicated in the first place from the U.S. and how they can still cause problems in other places.

I wonder if the fly will be a threat for as long as it continues to live and how we can solve this problem without causing any more harm.

Is there any way to help animals with a larvae in their wound, and can they spread diseases?

Screwworms lay eggs on top of wounds of animals and eat them slowly inside out

Screwworms can also attack humans

There are two species of screwworms
