. Cooperative economic insect report. Beneficial insects; Insect pests. 1216 - HORN FLY (Haematobia irritans) - OKLAHOMA - Light counts of 100 per head on animals in Marshall County area, south central, (Okla. Coop. Sur,). STATUS OF THE SCREW-WORM (Cochliomyia hominivorax) IN THE SOUTHWEST During the period November 2-8, a total of 76,700,250 sterile flies was released over 73,000 square miles in Texas, 7,000 square miles of the average overwintering area of New Mexico, and 10,000 square miles in Mexico near the Rio Grande from Laredo to Brownsville. Sterile flies are currently being released in quantities to give maximum benefit according to indicated native populations in the various zones. The southeastern portion of the release area is receiving sterile flies at the rate of 400 per square mile. The northern region of the release area in Texas - where populations are apparently the heaviest - is receiving sterile flies at the rate of 1,000 per square mile. The overwintering area in New Mexico, the barrier zone of the Pecos region, and the region in Mexico along the Rio Grande from Laredo to Brownsville, will receive sterile flies at rate of 600 per square mile. A total of 1,014 screw-worm cases was reported during the period, and Bernalillo County, NEW MEXICO, was the only new county reported infested. In the southeast area of Georgia, Alabama and Florida, a very close surveillance is being continued, with no additional infestations being found since the Early County, Georgia, report on October 26. Approximately 3 million sterile flies are being released in the area as a precautionary measure should there be other infestations. (Anira. Dis. Erad.
