- Title
Unexpected Allies: How an Original Thought from the 1930s Saved the Florida Key Deer from the Screwworm.
- Authors
Weldon, Polly V.
- Abstract
The article discusses the importance of collaboration between veterinarians, laypeople, and entomologists in addressing the challenges facing endangered species like the threat of New World screwworm (Cochlomyia hominivorax) against the Florida Key deer (Odocoileus virginianus) in Florida's Big Pine Key in 2016. Topics include the reports received by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on the presence of head wounds in the deer and the natural history of screwworms.
