USDA APHIS Launches New World Screwworm Dashboard for U.S. Animal and Fly Detections
3 articles · Updated · USDA APHIS · Jun 7
Summary
USDA APHIS published a dashboard showing confirmed New World screwworm detections in U.S. animals and wild flies, giving a current county- and state-level snapshot.
The tool breaks out individual animal cases by species, confirmation date and case status, distinguishing active infestations under treatment from inactive cases where recovery or containment measures are complete.
It also logs fly-trap detections with at least 1 confirmed wild screwworm fly by county, state and confirmation date.
APHIS said it is fully prepared to respond to detections and is working with state partners on surveillance, reporting and control, while noting the dashboard is not intended to support international trade.
