  6. This #fly’s flesh-eating #maggot is making a comeback. Here’s what to know
    In 2023, the number of new world #screwworm cases in Panama leapt from 25 to more than 6,500. The maggots have since been spotted in 8 countries, wriggling closer to #UnitedStates. By late Sept nearest screwworm case was reported only about 110km from #US#Mexico border. Threat heightened screwworm surveillance in US. And FDA has approved the first screwworm prevention drugs for cattle and dogs.

  8. As of September 24, 2025 #Screwworm has been detected within 70 miles of the #US #Mexico #Border. This is very bad news since the range of #NWS is around 120 miles during their 21 day lifespan, meaning they could fly across the closed to livestock border anytime in the next couple weeks, or less if it's windy. If the NWS #outbreak reaches the US it will be deadly for pets, livestock, wildlife, & people. #TrumpFails

  9. First #NWS (New World #Screwworm ) #US human infection in years detected in #Maryland after traveler returns from #ElSalvador. Human infections have been rare in the US since it's eradication in 1966, but there was a relatively small Florida "zombie dear" outbreak caused by NWS in 2017. It's treatable with healthcare access, which #Trump has made a problem for the millions of Americans & immigrants his #Republican endorsed #BBB kicked off #Medicade.

    >Construction of the production facility announced today is expected to take at least a year. Until it gets up and running, the USDA will spend up to $100 million on technology to accelerate the U.S. response, such as novel traps and modular sterile fly units.
    >
    >Russell Boening, president of the Texas Farm Bureau, praised Rollins and the Trump administration on the new production facility.
    >
    >“This threat is real and urgent, and we cannot afford delays,” Boening said in a statement. “Immediate construction and deployment of this facility are essential to prevent irreversible harm to the agricultural economy and our nation’s food system.”

    It'd sure be nice to keep that kind of energy for *human* disease too, you know.

  12. TPWD Encourages Monitoring, Reporting of Animals Affected by New World Screwworm

    "AUSTIN — Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) asks hunters and other outdoor enthusiasts in South Texas to monitor for animals affected by New World Screwworm (NWS) after a recent detection in Mexico... the maggots burrow or screw into flesh with sharp mouth hooks. Wounds can become larger, and an infestation can often cause serious, deadly damage or death to the infected animal....NWS primarily infests livestock but can also affect humans and wildlife including deer and birds."
