This evening, I hosted a call with Texas media alongside @USDA Under Secretary Dudley Hoskins and Texas animal health officials to provide an update on the confirmed detection of New World Screwworm (NWS) in South Texas and outline our immediate response efforts.
We briefed reporters on the aggressive actions we are taking right now in close partnership with state authorities to contain and eradicate the pest and reinforced the fact our food supply remains 100% safe.
We are urging producers and animal owners to follow movement restrictions and treatment guidance provided by @TAHC.
USDA will continue providing regular updates as we work closely with state partners, industry stakeholders, and producers to stop the spread and protect American agriculture.
On June 3, 2026, TAHC received confirmation of a detection of NWS in Zavala County, Texas. A sample collected from a three-week-old calf with an umbilical lesion was identified and confirmed as NWS by NVSL in Ames, Iowa. Read the full press release here: https://t.co/eVuCMbvfjT
The TAHC appreciates the USDA’s transparency and partnership throughout this process. If this sample submission leads to a confirmation in Texas, we are prepared to enact existing response protocols to minimize the impact of this pest.

A case of NWS may have been detected in South Texas. The sample is now at USDA's National Veterinary Services Laboratories (NVSL) in Ames, lowa for confirmatory testing. We will provide updates the moment results are available.
We have already activated personnel on the ground and are working with local partners.
What you can expect from us is transparency, candor, and most important — action.
