Thanks for the article. It was an interesting read
I disagree with your assertion that Biden had much tondo with it though. Seems he maintained the status quo, and never made any direct decisions that affected screwworms
Trump has some blame because he authorized wonton cuts that ended up affecting screwworm monitoring, even if it was already out of containment
His admin also re-authorized cattle imports for 2 days even though it was obviously spreading in Mexico
Article talked about how it may have been a screwworm adaptation that allowed it to breach containment. I think that’s a compelling argument. If true, it would mean stopping at the Darien Gap was always a time bomb waiting to happen
We should have worked to completely eradicate the screwworm, rather than containing
