What is screwworm? Killer parasite threatening U.S. livestock explained

The New World screwworm (NWS) fly was successfully eradicated from the United States and Mexico by the early 2000s through insect control methods. New outbreaks have occurred since 2022 in Panama, Costa Rica, and Mexico. Changes in climate and animal conditions may increase the chance that the NWS will continue to return to places w

What is the New World screwworm? Contrary to what the name may suggest, the New World screwworm is not a new species. It's been about 50 years since the fly wreaked havoc in Texas, and it's most notorious for laying eggs in open wounds on living, warm-blooded animals. Making headlines recently, the New World screwworm is at the forefront of many people's minds, although the closest detection is still 700 miles away. | Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service

So far, no cases in animals have been confirmed, but the USDA has estimated a potential screwworm outbreak could cost Texas, the country's biggest cattle-producing state, a

Symptoms include painful, foul-smelling wounds with visible larvae, and if untreated, it can be fatal. Treatment involves surgical removal of the larvae, ivermectin to kill what’s left, and antibiotics like cephalexin or doxycycline to prevent bacterial infection.
