Annual Screwworm Survey Report, 1953

Reports providing detailed findings on surveys or studies pertaining to the eradication program. The reports dated pre-1950 represent the early efforts of the program investigating screwworm infestation and early tests of treatments for livestock. The majority of these early items were produced under the auspices of the F.E.R.A program in Mississippi. There are some reports that do relate to outbreaks of the screwworm in areas outside of Mississippi and the southeastern United States. Most of the reports dated after 1950 cover all aspects of the eradication effort, including treatment tests, infestation studies, eradication experiments, and the eradication program as it proceeded from Curacao to Florida. The reports are arranged chronologically.
