The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has launched the new unified New World screwworm (NWS) website, screwworm.gov. This dynamic new site centralizes NWS information available across the federal government and reflects efforts to fight this pest.
Screwworm.gov has targeted resources for a wide range of stakeholders including livestock producers, veterinarians, animal health officials, wildlife professionals, healthcare providers, pet owners, researchers, drug manufacturers, and the general public. It also has the latest USDA-verified information on cases and response activities in Mexico and U.S. preparedness efforts.
USDA is leading an aggressive, whole-of-government response to protect the Nation’s livestock, wildlife, and public health from NWS. The U.S. One Health Coordination Unit for NWS, co-led by USDA, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Department of the Interior, is actively working to ensure the United States is prepared, should NWS be detected in the U.S.
Screwworm.gov includes information from these partner agencies as well as the following collaborating agencies: the Food and Drug Administration, the Department of Energy, the Department of Homeland Security, the Environmental Protection Agency, and Department of State.
USDA will continue to work with its partners to update and enhance this site to ensure it has the latest information and updates.
