Flesh-eating screwworms pose a significant threat to both livestock and wildlife, causing severe injuries and potentially leading to death. To protect these vulnerable populations, scientists have developed innovative methods that involve the mass production and release of sterile flies. This approach has proven highly effective in controlling and preventing screwworm infestations. Here’s how mass-produced flies
