His higher ups wanted him to lead a new program in the Caribbean. The Caribbean \u003ci\u003eAmblyomma\u003c\/i\u003e Program, known as the CAP, sought to eliminate the \u003ci\u003eAmblyomma\u003c\/i\u003e tick from the Caribbean region. The stakes were high because ticks transmit terrible diseases. Today, the tropical pest introduced from Africa threatens to invade large areas of the south and central parts of North America. By learning about the progress, setbacks, political and financial constraints, and final heartbreak of failure in the Caribbean, the rest of world can discover how to fight the growing problem. Learn why the CAP program failed and how the Caribbean farmers who were let down by the program suffered. This history and analysis conveys the need to re-establish vigorous research to eradicate tick-borne illnesses. Ticks are invading the larger world, and there are serious implications. They found much of their strength during \u003ci\u003eThirteen Years of Hell in Paradise.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rupert Pegram\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1426944519\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781426944512\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Trafford Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/22\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 460\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.19d","brand":"Rupert Pegram","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48444812394751,"sku":"9781426944512","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_21a1f697-5fdc-4c32-b1d9-0901557856e1.jpg?v=1777214719","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/thirteen-years-of-hell-in-rupert-pegram-9781426944512","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
