The FDA just made history, issuing its first- and second-ever Emergency Use Authorizations for veterinary drugs in response to New World Screwworm (NWS) outbreaks in Central America and Mexico.

NWS is a parasitic fly that lays eggs in wounds, causing painful infestations in livestock — and occasionally people.

With cases detected across the Americas, this is a reminder: vector-borne diseases don’t respect borders.

On #WorldNTDDay, progress speaks for itself: nine countries eliminated an NTD in 2025 alone. When community health workers, scientists, pharma partners, and policymakers unite, countries can #EscapeTheNeglect and end the health, social, and economic burden of these diseases.

That effort comes to life in @Devex’s new docuseries, sharing the human stories behind the global fight to end NTDs.

This #NTDTuesday—and as we head into #WorldNTDDay (30 January)—a new BMJ editorial highlights Kenya’s elimination of human African trypanosomiasis (HAT, sleeping sickness) as proof of what sustained control and surveillance, innovation, and community engagement can achieve 🌍

Co-authored by five NTD champions, the piece shows that NTD elimination isn’t just possible—it’s one of the smartest investments in global health today.

With US assistance, 15 countries have eliminated at least one #NTD, and 8 countries have graduated fully from US support. With continued investment, 15 more countries could eliminate at least one NTD within the next 5 years! https://t.co/FfAcHyQiDJ @NtdRoundtable

This #NTDTuesday, trachoma is closer than ever to elimination. Science works. The medicines exist. What’s needed now is awareness and sustained commitment to reach every community.

[Global Health Strategies @GHS]

This #NTDTuesday, we’re celebrating a milestone year for NTD elimination, highlighting the nine countries that successfully eliminated a neglected tropical disease in 2025.

This #NTDTuesday, Chagas disease, also called kissing bug disease, is spreading more often in the U.S., and a CDC report says it may even be becoming endemic. Cases have been reported in 8 states and kissing bugs have been found in over 30 states.About 8 million people worldwide have Chagas, including around 280,000 in the U.S.

[Global Health Strategies @GHS]

This #NTDTuesday: Chagas disease is now endemic in the US, spread by “kissing bugs” found from Mississippi to Washington. Untreated, it can cause serious heart disease and death. NTDs don't respect country borders – we need action both at home and abroad. https://t.co/ZdIuMUB1Tb

This #NTDTuesday: Chikungunya is plaguing France, with 770 local cases this year —a record for Europe. The virus is now spreading via mosquitoes common across Europe & the U.S.
