Rising screwworm cases alarm health experts
State and federal animal health experts warn of a worrying upsurge in screwworm infestations with 1,125 cases reported so far this year, signaling heightened outbreak risk and the need for intensified control measures.
Texas Screwworms Boosted By Wet Weather In 1968
In 1968 the screwworm problem surged due to unusually wet weather across South and West Texas. After the sterile fly program began in 1962, cases fell below 300 by 1964, but the current spike is blamed on the climate. Ranchers are cautioned to perform dehorning and castration only with maximum safety measures to minimize fly infestation.
