Summary
A New Mexico dog has sparked alarm after testing positive for the invasive New World Screwworm—a fly that lays eggs in open wounds and can devastate livestock and pets. Found in a dog that traveled across state lines, officials are treating this as a potential border-crossing case and are urgently investigating other animals in the household. While authorities believe this is an isolated incident, they’re ramping up surveillance and outreach to prevent spread. The USDA and state partners are coordinating a swift response, emphasizing vigilance: inspect your animals for wounds or maggots, and report anything unusual immediately.
