On June 3, 2026, the New World screwworm was confirmed in a calf near La Pryor, Texas. This has caused concern across the livestock, wildlife, and veterinary communities and a response from both state and federal agencies.

As response efforts continue, understanding the risks and knowing where to find reliable information are critical.
