Rather, female adult flies lay eggs in fresh wounds of warm-blooded animals. The larvae feed on the host and can damage vital organs or cause serious bacterial infections. Cases can be severe and can even cause the host animal to die.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The parasite is also a threat to wildlife and pets. Vets in Texas, Arizona and New Mexico have been told to be on the lookout for new infections. On Wednesday, Rollins urged pet owners to keep a close watch for signs of discomfort, open wounds or larvae or eggs near body openings.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Human cases are rare but can be fatal. The last person in the US to get sick with a screwworm infection was a travel-related case in Maryland in August. They made a full recovery.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Rollins said Tuesday that the current threat to human health in the US is extremely low, and the screwworm does not pose a food safety risk, but there is \u201cno doubt that this is a very, very serious threat to our livestock.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            People who are at higher risk for catching screwworm are those who work with livestock or other warm-blooded animals in areas where the flies are present and those who spend a lot of time outdoors, especially if they sleep outside. People who have medical conditions that cause bleeding or open sores can also be vulnerable to infection. Any open wound, even a small break in the skin like a scratch or an insect bite, can attract these flies, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIn August, the US Department of Health and Human Services began to allow emergency use of drugs to treat or prevent infestations in animals. A shipment of that treatment is on its way to South Texas, Rollins said Wednesday.\n    <\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/?p=1626\">Foodborne illnesses kill millions.

In May 2025, the agency suspended the import of live animals through US ports of entry along the southern border, Rollins said.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The USDA posted dogs at the US-Mexico border that can sniff out New World screwworm, and it has sent teams to Mexico and Panama to help boost the production of sterile flies.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The US has also set aside $750 million to build a facility in Texas that will produce hundreds of millions of sterile flies each week. That facility is set to open next year.\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Mediterranean fruit flies move inside a cage at a sterile screwworm fly facility in Metapa de Dominguez, Mexico, in October 2025.\" class=\"wp-image-1635\" height=\"515\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ddb464d9a146b5cbbc1cb434930778c1.jpg\" width=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ddb464d9a146b5cbbc1cb434930778c1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ddb464d9a146b5cbbc1cb434930778c1-300x201.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<span>Mediterranean fruit flies move inside a cage at a sterile screwworm fly facility in Metapa de Dominguez, Mexico, in October 2025.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<figcaption>Daniel Becerril\/Reuters\/File<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            A screwworm infestation in the US could be financially devastating, experts say. The country\u2019s worst outbreak happened in 1972, when the USDA estimated that there were 90,000 cases, and another outbreak of that magnitude could cost the Southwest alone more than $3 billion, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Max Scott, an entomology and plant pathologist who has genetically modified screwworm so the flies don\u2019t reproduce, said outbreaks are typically controlled by rearing flies in a factory and sterilizing the bugs by exposing them to gamma rays when they are at the pupal stage. Scientists then release enough sterile flies to overwhelm the local fertile fly population. When the fertile female mates with a sterile male, they don\u2019t produce offspring.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cThe USDA, over a 50-year period, succeeded in eradicating this fly all the way down to the Panama-Colombia border,\u201d said Scott, who is a professor at North Carolina State University. \u201cIt was a lot of effort by a lot of people, but it\u2019s largely unknown, unfortunately, because it was a big success story. They kept it there and away from here for 20 years, but the barrier failed a few years ago, and flies rapidly moved through Central America until where we are today.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Scott said it was probably a \u201ccombination of factors\u201d that caused the barrier to fail and the flies to spread.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            In hindsight, he said, the strain of infertile males used recently was \u201cprobably not as good,\u201d so the female flies were no longer choosing to mate with the less-fit sterile males.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            A recent surge of migrants across the Panama-Colombia border also included animals that may have been infected, he said. The fly doesn\u2019t travel big distances and moves more frequently on infested livestock.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Rollins has called the New World screwworm response an \u201call of Trump administration effort.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            There\u2019s nothing to celebrate in Wednesday\u2019s announcement, she said, but she commended teams who had kept the fly \u201cout of Texas a year longer, almost, than what was thought, which has allowed us to prepare for today.\u201d\n    <\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/?p=1616\">Is Bill Pulte Trump\u2019s least-experienced Cabinet pick?
