The calf in La Salle county is adjacent to Zavala County, where
the first two cases were identified, but the dog in Andrews
County is roughly 300 miles north and west.
There is a possibility the dog was exposed in Mexico, but the
epidemiological investigation is ongoing
NWS is a serious pest that threatens livestock, pets, wildlife,
and, in rare cases, people. The larvae burrow into the living
tissue of animals, causing severe wounds, animal suffering, and
significant economic losses.
“Over the past week, USDA has identified and expeditiously
confronted four confirmed detections of New World screwworm.
While we address these instances that require immediate
attention, and continue to sample suspected cases, we are
simultaneously working to eradicate the pest entirely,” said
Dudley Hoskins, Under Secretary for Marketing and Regulatory
Programs. “We need the partnership of animal owners across the
region – please stay vigilant, check your animals closely, and
report anything that looks suspicious. Together, we can protect
our livestock, our communities, and the health of animals
nationwide.”

I have renamed this thread to the 2026 US New World Screwworm
tracking thread and moved it to the tracking threads. I will
post the update from the USDA in this thread as it updates.

New World Screwworm cases in the US are now up to 16. The last
time I posted about this we were at 12 cases so it does appear
this is still spreading.
Here is the link to the dashboard.

Kansas Department of Health & Environment , U.S.A,
thought it important enough to note about recent New World
screwworm (NWS) animal cases in the Mexican state of Tamaulipas,
which shares a border with the U.S. state of Texas...
Kansas Department of Health & Environment also makes some
proactive recommendations to other health departments,
healthcare providers and to the general public in the article...
Summary:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued
Health Advisory No. 526 on January 20, 2026, to inform
clinicians, public health, and the public about recent New World
screwworm (NWS) animal cases in the Mexican state of Tamaulipas,
which shares a border with the U.S. state of Texas. No recent
NWS infestations related to this outbreak have been identified
in people or animals in the United States as of January 20,
2026. However, given the potential for geographic spread, CDC
and the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KHDE) are
issuing this alert. The purpose of this alert is to increase
awareness of the outbreak and to summarize public health
recommendations for healthcare providers and local health
departments regarding case identification and reporting,
specimen collection, diagnosis, and treatment of NWS, as well as
provide guidance for the public.
While NWS remains primarily an animal health issue, humans can
become infected with NWS when they have an open wound or
bleeding from mucous membranes. The primary threat to U.S.
residents is travel to an endemic or outbreak area, such as
Central America and Mexico. Healthcare providers should be aware
of the possibility of travel-associated cases.
