ATTN: Horse Owners re: SCREWWORM
As horse owners and caretakers, vigilance will be critical in the weeks and months ahead. Horse owners should closely monitor animals for wounds and cuts, as well as surgical sites and other areas that may attract flies. Keep wounds clean and protected whenever possible and consult your veterinarian promptly if you observe larvae or signs of infection.
"We've heard time and time again that the best thing you can put on your animals is your eyes," said Katie Reynolds, AQHA director of youth development and public policy. "Early detection is key with this pest, and experts know that New World Screwworm is treatable with medication. Now that we know New World Screwworm has been found in Texas, we're asking our members to stay informed and follow the expert advice available to all of us through our veterinarians and through state and federal resources."

On June 5th, a sample collected from a 30-day-old calf in Zavala County was confirmed to be New World screwworm (NWS). This is the second confirmed case of NWS in Texas, and is located within the existing infested zone. Animal health officials are actively working the case and continuing to expand fly trapping and surveillance efforts to identify additional flies in the area.

Animal owners and livestock producers in Texas should actively monitor their animals and quickly treat and cover any wounds. This area is currently under movement restrictions through the Executive Director Order issued on June 3rd.
