Texas Screwworm Outbreak Alert
Description
Twenty-six confirmed screwworm cases across the U.S., 25 in Texas and one in New Mexico, have triggered emergency quarantine orders covering 21 counties. This flesh-eating parasite, which lays eggs in open wounds and burrows into live tissue, poses a deadly threat to cattle. Governor Abbott’s ongoing disaster proclamation helps mobilize resources, while new Zone 10 and modified zones in West/Central Texas reflect rapid spread — including sheep infections. Ranchers must inspect animals daily and report any signs immediately to prevent further outbreaks.
