Kevin Draper reports for the New York Times:

One of the department’s key tools is a sticky flytrap that allows the agency to monitor flies across a vast area. But despite deploying more than 128 screwworm-specific traps and 8,000 exotic fruit fly traps, the agency has yet to catch a single wild screwworm fly — crucial to determining where the outbreak is coming from, according to data on the department’s dashboard that tracks confirmed screwworm detections and animals that have been infested.  [emphasis added]
