| Eradication of Established Populations of Introduced Aquatic Pests - Kuris
1. Eradicated a substantial population (estimated 2.5 million worms) of the introduced south African sabellid pest of abalone and snails that became established at Cayucos. This is the first ever eradication of an established population of an introduced marine pest 2. With research groups at the University of New Mexico, and Kenya Medical Research Institute, we achieved control of the tropical disease, human schistosomiasis, in school children in Kenya using Louisiana crayfish as biocontrol agents against the snail intermediate hosts of this parasitic worm. |
