While sterile male flies have successfully curbed populations since 1958, current production in Panama is woefully inadequate, requiring $200 million annually to scale up. The new tests aim to refine detection and control by targeting female flies, which lay the eggs, in real-world conditions. With animal health at stake, USDA and researchers are racing to secure funding and ramp up production for a long-term eradication strategy.
