Cattle Industry News Govt. confirms first US human case of New World Screwworm The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the CDC confirmed the first human case in the U.S. of New World screwworm. According to a Reuters report, the individual is a Maryland resident, and they contracted screwworm during a trip to El Salvador. The CDC confirmed the diagnosis on Aug. 4, as did the Maryland Department of Health.  In a statement to Reuters, HHS Spokesman Andrew G. Nixon said "The Risk to public health in the U.S. from this introduction is very low." In recent months, the U.S. government has taken considerable steps in protecting livestock from screwworm. Mid-July, USDA restarted its ban on Mexican livestock imports, and just last week, the agency announced a $750-million sterile fly production facility in Texas to combat the flesh-eating parasite's spread. In Texas alone, USDA estimates a screwworm outbreak could cost the state $1.8 billion in livestock deaths and other costs. Screwworms are parasitic flies whose females lay eggs in wounds on any warm-blooded animal. Once the eggs hatch, hundreds of screwworm larvae use their sharp mouths to burrow through living flesh, eventually killing their host if left untreated. Livestock traders and beef producers have been on edge about the potential for cases in cattle as prices have already hit record highs because the U.S. cattle herd is at its smallest size in seven decades.
