Texas Targets Screwworm Fly with New Resources
Description
Texas is going all-in to crush the New World screwworm fly, with Governor Greg Abbott securing federal funding to deploy 15 new experts—including emergency management and epidemiology specialists—to ramp up inspections and stop the spread. This aggressive push protects the state’s vital agriculture industry, as Texas has already activated emergency protocols, built a sterile fly facility, and launched a 24-hour vet hotline. Texans are urged to monitor livestock and pets for wounds, report suspected cases immediately, and never move potentially infected animals.
