New World Screwworm: This week, the New World Screwworm was detected in the United States for the first time in nearly 60 years in Zavala County, Texas. For more than a year, Secretary Brooke Rollins and her team at USDA have been working around the clock alongside federal agencies, state partners, and animal health experts to prevent the parasitic fly from entering the United States—longer than many thought possible—and to ensure the U.S. is prepared to respond to a potential domestic case. Their proactive efforts have strengthened our defenses against this serious threat to animal health and the livestock industry. USDA has the tools, resources, and an action plan to aggressively respond, enhance surveillance, and prevent further spread. The U.S. has successfully eradicated this threat to livestock, wildlife, and animal health before, and we will do so again.
