From bugs to budo: Dominic Reisig of NCSU Entomology & Plant Pathology dances between battling boll weevils and mastering martial arts, proving that passion has many dimensions. For more, join Shane Campbell-Staton, Ph.D. on this final week's episode of #HumanFootprintPBS airing Wed, Aug 9 at 8/9c on PBS.

The Max Scott Lab is open for trick-or-treating! We’re inviting all our NCSU Entomology & Plant Pathology friends to “fly” by Thomas 1542 for some #Halloween buzz. We promise there aren’t any maggots roaming around 😉

Huge thanks to everybody who helped turn the Max Scott Lab into a super spooky zone today! Shoutout to Juan, Kalindu, and Amarish Yadav for decorating, and to Escher Cattle for the amazing fly mask 🪰🎭

Si encuentras una gusanera en tu mascota, no te alarmes. Compra medicina con larvicida y cicatrizante, aplícalo en la herida y extrae las larvas con pinzas. Colócalas en un recipiente, no al suelo. Entregalas a un veterinario para análisis

Ayer 12 de noviembre se inauguró el primer "Centro de Eclosión y Dispersión del Gusano Barrenador del Ganado" en Palmerola, Honduras🇭🇳. Este centro, clave en la lucha contra esta plaga, permitirá un trabajo más rápido y efectivo junto al centro de Panamá🇵🇦

Scientists built a great wall to keep out the ‘man devourer’ – but now it’s fighting back. The new world screw worm, a species of fly that lays its eggs in the open wounds of warm-blooded animals, is making a comeback. ✍️Arthur Scott-Geddes and Simeon Tegel telegraph.co.uk/global-health/…

For decades, the screwworm was eliminated in North America, but containment efforts in Panama have failed. Now cattle smugglers are helping the parasite advance north. @evystadium has more. Read the story here: wired.com/story/a-parasi…

We were happy to contribute a chapter on genetic biocontrol of crop pests to the book “Advances in biocontrol of crop insect pests”, which is now available (shop.bdspublishing.com/store/bds/deta…). Alexis Kriete, Sarah Hudadoff, Ariel Tarrand and Amarish Yadav contributed equally.

Before screwworms were eradicated in the U.S., every cut, every scratch, every navel of a newborn calf threatened to turn fatal. Now the parasites are heading back toward us. Sarah Zhang reports: theatlantic.com/science/archiv…
