Minnesota Bans Pets From Screwworm States | Minneapolis News

Minnesota’s stepping up to stop the deadly New World Screwworm from invading — now banning dogs and cats from states with active cases like Texas and New Mexico. All incoming pets must pass a vet inspection within three days, show proof of rabies shots, and be screwworm-treated. Failure means a 10-day quarantine. This aggressive move protects Minnesota’s animals and humans from the fly larvae that feed on living tissue and can be fatal.
