- LiveNOW Fox's Anna Marcic with Texas A&M's Dr. Sonja Swiger walking the geography — South America → Central America → Mexico, watched since 2022/23, spread driven by untreated infested animals — and the sterile-fly playbook from Dr. Knipling and Dr. Bushland: radiation-sterilize males, mate with wild females, lay unfertilized eggs, future generations decline.
