New World screwworm fact sheet from Texas A&M

Texas A&M AgriLife Research and Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service experts have released an updated fact sheet publication about the New World screwworm to provide livestock producers with key information about prevention, infestation and reporting of infestations.

NOTE: Missouri screwworm report false, BEEF, May 27, 2025. Link. The USDA said the May 27^th news story of NWS detected in Missouri is not true.

Source: Texas A&M Agrilife, May 20, 2025. Link. Should the New World screwworm enter the U.S., this fly is estimated to cause losses, conservatively, of $2.1 billion to cattle and $9 billion to the hunting/wildlife industry in Texas alone.
