Dollars Allocated To Help Producers With New World Screwworm

New World Screwworm & How Dollars Are Protecting Livestock Owners

USDA’s Animal & Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) announced $165 million in emergency funding to protect livestock and other animals from New World screwworm (NWS) and boost the agency’s efforts to control its spread in Mexico and Central America.

The move comes after APHIS restricted the import of animal commodities from Mexico due to detection of NWS in a cow in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas. It was a step northward for NWS, which over the last two years has spread throughout Panama and into Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras and Guatemala.

APHIS is working with partners in Mexico and Central America to stop the spread of NWS into the United States and asking all producers along the southern border to watch their livestock and pets for signs of NWS and to immediately report potential cases to their local veterinarian, State Veterinarian’s Office, or APHIS Veterinary Services.

The fly larvae can infest warm blooded animals such as cattle, causing wounds that can lead to infection. A biological barrier can be created by mating sterilized male screwworm flies with females in areas where NWS is detected. This initiative can decrease or even eliminate populations of screwworm flies.
