Governor Greg Abbott has launched a new website dedicated to the New World screwworm (NWS) as part of Texas's efforts to protect livestock and wildlife. The site, accessible at screwworm.texas.gov, serves as a comprehensive resource for Texans, providing crucial information, maps, and identification methods related to NWS. Governor Abbott emphasized the importance of this tool for producers and veterinarians to detect and report issues promptly. The initiative includes a $750 million investment in a sterile fly production facility in Edinburg and a statewide disaster declaration to enhance response efforts. Texans are encouraged to report any suspected cases immediately.
