New cases of New World screwworm have been confirmed in West Texas, prompting the U.S. Department of Agriculture to expand its response, including immediate sterile fly dispersal flights over Crockett County. In a post on X from the USDA's New World Screwworm Rapid Response, the agency said that "in the last 24 hours, 1 lamb in Crockett County, TX, and 2 calves in Edwards County, TX have tested positive for New World Screwworm, bringing the total number of domestic confirmed detections to 15." The USDA said it "has already taken action and will be starting sterile fly dispersal flights over Crockett County (outside current affected areas) immediately."
