Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins later posted that <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SecRollins\/status\/2062344848431018088\" class=\"external-link text link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/x.com\/SecRollins\/status\/2062344848431018088&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SecRollins\/status\/2062344848431018088\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the testing had confirmed the infection<\/a>, which was found in a three-week-old calf in Zavala County, Texas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Chatter of a screwworm detection had already been building this week, rattling the US cattle industry.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Although many animals, including humans, can be victims of the parasite, the screwworm is especially dangerous to livestock. Female screwworms lay hundreds of eggs in the wounds and openings of warm-blooded creatures, allowing their larvae to feast on the living animals, causing deep, festering, life-threatening wounds. Although the screwworm was once endemic to the US, it was eradicated amid a yearslong control effort in the 1960s. The USDA estimates that keeping screwworms out of the US has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nal.usda.gov\/exhibits\/speccoll\/exhibits\/show\/stop-screwworms--selections-fr\/introduction\" class=\"text link\">saved the livestock industry $900 million each year<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">But the fly has broken through control efforts in Central America and has been inching closer. On May 28, a case was found 25 miles from the border in a five-year-old goat in Coahuila, Mexico, according to the USDA. The case was one of many detected in recent days, including a case in a calf just 39 miles from the border, also in Coahuila.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall\">Disputed Detections<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall\">In a media call on Tuesday, Agriculture secretary Brooke Rollins said, \u201cThere is no doubt that this is a very, very serious threat to our livestock.\u201d But she also disputed claims that the fly is closer or even already in the US.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">On Monday, state representative Don McLaughlin claimed on social media that a screwworm case was found just <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/x.com\/donfortexas\/status\/2061504920021241934\" class=\"external-link text link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/x.com\/donfortexas\/status\/2061504920021241934&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/donfortexas\/status\/2061504920021241934\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">one mile from the Texas border<\/a>, which Rollins and the <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/x.com\/USDA\/status\/2061612189287354459\" class=\"external-link text link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/x.com\/USDA\/status\/2061612189287354459&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/USDA\/status\/2061612189287354459\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">USDA denied<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">\u201cWhen that false information gets out, it causes significant panic,\u201d <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/www.texastribune.org\/2026\/06\/02\/texas-screwworm-1-mile-brooke-rollins-don-mclaughlin\/\" class=\"external-link text link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.texastribune.org\/2026\/06\/02\/texas-screwworm-1-mile-brooke-rollins-don-mclaughlin\/&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.texastribune.org\/2026\/06\/02\/texas-screwworm-1-mile-brooke-rollins-don-mclaughlin\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Rollins said Tuesday, according to the Texas Tribune<\/a>. \u201cAnd rightly so, especially if it\u2019s coming from elected officials and the media.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">On Wednesday, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/healthcare-pharmaceuticals\/unconfirmed-us-case-flesh-eating-screwworm-rattles-cattle-markets-traders-say-2026-06-03\/\" class=\"text link\">Reuters reported that McLaughlin suspected the fly was now here<\/a>. He said samples taken Tuesday from two calves on a ranch in La Pryor, Texas\u2014which is in Zavala County, where the screwworm infection was confirmed\u2014were being tested as possible screwworm infections. One infection was said to be in an umbilical cord wound of one of the calves. McLaughlin said he had seen images and videos of the animals and that the larvae seen in them looked like screwworm larvae.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Reuters was shown one of the photos, which it reported as showing \u201cmultiple larvae resembling the screwworm inside a bloody circular wound on an animal\u201d but said it \u201ccould not immediately verify the photo.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">\u201cAt this point, it\u2019s unconfirmed that it\u2019s the New World screwworm,\u201d McLaughlin told the outlet earlier Wednesday. \u201cIt \u200blooks like it, but it\u2019s unconfirmed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">With the finding now confirmed, the USDA said in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aphis.usda.gov\/news\/agency-announcements\/usda-confirms-presence-new-world-screwworm-united-states\" class=\"text link\">a press release Wednesday night<\/a> that it is setting up a \u201cunified Incident Command Team\u201d with the Texas Animal Health Commission and sending response personnel to the area. It is also setting up a 20-kilometer (12.4-mile) zone around the detected infection for quarantine, movement restrictions, and increased surveillance and fly trapping.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall\">Screwworm Comeback<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Screwworms were eradicated in the US in the 1960s amid a concerted effort to annihilate their population. This is done with aerial bombings of sterile male flies, which is the most effective weapon against the parasites. The mass release of dud studs elbows out fertile males, preventing them from mating with females, which generally mate only once.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">With this method, called Sterile Insect Technique, the flies were eradicated not just from the US but from all of Central America. They were declared eradicated from Panama in 2006.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/flesh-eating-screwworms-have-entered-the-us\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A case of New World screwworm has been confirmed in South Texas, the US Department of Agriculture announced Wednesday night.
