Excerpt from Facts About the Screwworm Barrier Program The screwworm is a destructive parasite of warmblooded animals that has been dreaded by livestock producers since pioneer days. Screwworms are attracted to and deposit their eggs in open wounds of domestic and wild animals and man. Screwworm larvae (maggots) hatch in the wounds and devour the flesh of the living host animal, causing weight losses, general reduction in productivity, maiming, and ire quently death. Before large-scale control measures were launched by the u.s. Department of Agriculture in cooperation with the affected States, annual losses to the livestock industry from screwworms sometimes rose to many millions of dollars. Screwworm losses among wildlife were also high. The last-remaining established infestations of screwworms were eradicated from the United States in 1966 as a result of all-out campaigns in the Southeast and in the Southwest. Although the eradication goal has been reached, the battle against the screwworm is still far from ended. Mexico and other countries to the south still have established populations of screw worms. The task now is to keep the screwworm from gaining a foothold once again in the United States. This could happen with disastrous results to livestock producers and related industries unless strong defense against the screwworm are maintained.

Edible insects have always been a part of human diets, but in some societies there remains a degree of disdain and disgust for their consumption. Although the majority of consumed insects are gathered in forest habitats, mass-rearing systems are being developed in many countries. Insects offer a significant opportunity to merge traditional knowledge and modern science to improve human food security worldwide. This publication describes the contribution of insects to food security and examines future prospects for raising insects at a commercial scale to improve food and feed production, diversify diets, and support livelihoods in both developing and developed countries. It shows the many traditional and potential new uses of insects for direct human consumption and the opportunities for and constraints to farming them for food and feed. It examines the body of research on issues such as insect nutrition and food safety, the use of insects as animal feed, and the processing and preservation of insects and their products. It highlights the need to develop a regulatory framework to govern the use of insects for food security. And it presents case studies and examples from around the world. Edible insects are a promising alternative to the conventional production of meat, either for direct human consumption or for indirect use as feedstock. To fully realise this potential, much work needs to be done by a wide range of stakeholders. This publication will boost awareness of the many valuable roles that insects play in sustaining nature and human life, and it will stimulate debate on the expansion of the use of insects as food and feed.
