USDA is excited to highlight the launch of the new unified New World screwworm (NWS) website, screwworm.gov. This dynamic new site centralizes NWS information available across the Federal Government and reflects the whole-of-government effort to fight this pest through implementation of USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins’ comprehensive 5-pronged plan.

"To ensure timely and effective communications, this new unified website will be a one-stop shop for all screwworm related information and will help our stakeholders be better informed as new information comes available,” said Secretary Rollins. “We are grateful for the robust interagency collaboration, and we continue to work every day with our State and industry partners to implement our screwworm plan. This is a national security priority and it has the full attention of our team.”

Screwworm.gov has targeted resources for a wide range of stakeholders including livestock producers, veterinarians, animal health officials, wildlife professionals, healthcare providers, pet owners, researchers, drug manufacturers, and the general public. It also has the latest USDA-verified information on cases and response activities in Mexico and U.S. preparedness efforts. The website includes information from USDA, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Department of the Interior, Food and Drug Administration, Department of Energy, Department of Homeland Security, Environmental Protection Agency, and Department of State.
