Uruguay is a promising place to start. the IAEA web site says that Chile is the only South American country that doesn’t have a Screwworm problem. that takes care of most of Argentina’s border. Success for Uruguay would make the job a bit easier for Argentina to follow. it’s fun to imagine a bunch more deer and capibaras and bunnies
hopefully international cooperation and funding would be feasible, as each country that undertakes eradication presumably makes subsequent tries a bit easier, especially for neighboring countries
Island-hopping would make sense for thrift, as eradication in Puerto Rico and Curacao doesn’t seem to have been as high-maintenance to keep up as eradication in Panama. IAEA web site says Cuba, DR, Haiti, Jamaica, and T&T have screwworm. Islands belonging to South American countries like Colombia’s San Andres and Providencia and Ecuador’s Galapagos islands may also have them
