Additional NWS Cases Confirmed in Mexico

Mexico reported two cases of New World screwworm in two days. On Wednesday, the Mexican government identified a screwworm detection in a six-day-old calf approximately 200 miles from the U.S.-Mexico border. On New Year’s Day, the parasite was confirmed in a goat near Mexico City. The border remains closed to Mexican livestock and that policy isn’t expected to change soon with these new cases.
