Screwworm embryo cryopreservation. Researcher placing screwworm (Cochliomyia hominivorax) embryos into a cryostorage tank. This is part of a programme to eradicate the screwworm from North and Central America by releasing sterile adult screwworm flies into the wild. The sterile flies mate with the wild flies and cause a population collapse. Being able to store embryos until they are needed is much more time and cost effective than having to constantly breed the insects | |
