Texas Detects New World Screwworm in Livestock After 60 Years, Raising Concerns

Texas Detects New World Screwworm in Livestock After 60 Years, Raising Concerns

Texas has reported the detection of the New World screwworm in livestock, marking the first occurrence in the state in six decades. The U.S. Department of Agriculture confirmed the presence of this flesh-eating parasite in two calves in South Texas. Historically, the screwworm was a major pest in the U.S., causing significant economic damage to the livestock industry. The parasite was eradicated in the mid-1900s through a program that released sterile male flies to prevent reproduction. However, recent migrations from Central America have led to its reappearance. Authorities are implementing containment measures, including restricting animal movement and releasing sterile flies to control the outbreak.
