“…Between January and May 2009, a pilot-test was performed at the Brazil-Uruguay border (a test area of 4,662 km 2 ) with sterile flies imported from COMEXA and, after just 13 weeks of air releasing ca. 1,545 sterile flies/km 2 , 21.5% of the egg masses collected were sterile [ 133 ].…”

The New World Screwworm, Cochliomyia hominivorax (Coquerel), is one of the most damaging parasites of livestock, causing millions of dollars in annual losses to producers. The fly is an obligate parasite of warm-blooded animals, including humans. After a successful 50-year eradication campaign, C. hominivorax has been eradicated from the USA, Mexico and Central America by an area-wide integrated pest management approach. Recently, Caribbean and South American countries have expressed an interest in this approach. Aiming to support forthcoming projects in these countries, this review describes the main technical components of past and ongoing AW-IPM campaigns against C. hominivorax.

“…Forero et al (2008) ventured that the programme could encounter large geographical, political and economic problems, and possibly genetical (Fresia et al, 2011) and behavioural issues (Bush et al, 1976;Mastrangelo et al, 2012). By contrast, extension of the eradication effort into South America must contend with the vast tropical area of Central and South America.…”

1 The new world screwworm [Cochliomyia hominivorax (Coquerel)] was eradicated in North America, Libya and other locations using the sterile insect technique (SIT). 2 To examine the role of weather in its eradication, a physiologically-based demographic model was developed and used to characterize its range of year-round persistence. Published data on developmental times, fecundity and mortality rates on temperature were used to parameterize the model. The lower and upper thermal thresholds for development are 14.5 and 43.5 • C, and the optimal temperature for survival is 27.2 • C. An index of favourability based on annual rainfall was used as an approximate estimate of the limiting effects of moisture in arid areas. 3 The open source geographical information system software grass was used to map the simulation results, as well as county level myiasis incidence data for Texas for the 1962-1983 SIT eradication programme. 4 Winter temperature and rainfall are shown to have a strong influence on screwworm outbreaks and in facilitating eradication in North America and Libya. Prospective analysis for the Mediterranean Basin suggests that eastern areas are most favourable for screwworm establishment (e.g. the Nile River area of Egypt). 5 The SIT eradication programme and its possible extension into South America are discussed. 6 Expected +2 • C climate warming is predicted to increase the potential year-round range of screwworm in the southeast U.S.A.
