A gram-negative bacillus, Proteus chandleri, was invariably associated with screwworm lesions. An immunity to the effects of larval reinfestation of screwworms was demonstrated in guinea pigs by the fact that animals reinfested after a 20-day interval were able to survive a normally lethal dosage of screwworm larvae.

This study showed a direct influence of soil moisture on the relative abundance of screwworms. During periods of heavy rainfall, infestations were more abundant on the high, well-drained soils and relatively scarce on the low, wet soils. Conversely, during dry seasons they were abundant on the low, poorly drained soils and comparatively scarce on the uplands.

It was found that screwworm adults could be sterilized by irradiation with X-rays. A dosage of 5,000 r sterilized females and rendered them incapable of producing egg masses. Males were sterilized with about 2,500 r and found competitive. with nonirradiated males under laboratory conditions. However, competitiveness of the insects was greatly affected when irradiation was administered to pupae earlier than 2 days before emergence.

Gamma radiation and X-rays were equally effective in producing sterility. No dosage below 5,000 r could be depended upon to produce total sterility, and it was best to sterilize pupae after completion of 5 days of development.

The operation of five swormlure-baited traps per county was as effective as case reports in detecting the first occurrence of screwworms within a country.

The screwworm attractant was named Swormlure-1, and a new mixture Swormlure-2, was prepared and evaluated under field conditions. Swormlure-2 was as attractive as decomposing liver but was more attractive to unmated females.

The SWASS system was evaluated on the island of Curacao, N.A. by the dispersal of SWASS units at a rate of 10 to 20 per km³. Results indicated that the wild population was suppressed by 65% to 85% after a 10-week release period. Eradication was completed by the release of sterile males, and the island was declared screwworm free on Oct. 25, 1977.

Fluorescein sodium in combination with SWASS units devoid of insecticide was demonstrated as a method of monitoring field populations of adult screwworms. The dye was incorporated into the feeding bait, and 75% of the flies feeding 10 seconds retained detectable amounts of the dye up to 13 days.
