Romey Swanson of the Devils River Conservancy and Andrew Earl of the Texas Wildlife Association hosted an informative online session about the New World Screwworm, a parasitic species of blowfly, with a regional focus on the Texas Borderlands, where the screwworm is anticipated to arrive first as the population spreads north from Central America and Mexico. The hosts were joined by Dr. Sonja Swiger, an extension entomologist with the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service and a professor in Texas A&M University’s Department of Entomology. She shares her expertise on this species and what we need to know to be prepared for its return to Texas.
