PRESS RELEASE: Today, Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller made it clear that the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) is not waiting on the sidelines when it comes to protecting Texas livestock from the New World screwworm (NWS). The agency is taking immediate and aggressive action to use pesticide bait to prevent the pest from re-establishing itself in Texas. While TDA has already been proactive in guarding against NWS, Commissioner Miller is now intensifying those measures following confirmation by Mexico’s SENASICA of a new case in Sabinas Hidalgo, Nuevo León—less than 70 miles from the U.S.–Mexico border

This is now the northernmost detection of NWS during this outbreak and the one most threatening to the American cattle and livestock industry.

Currently, U.S. ports remain closed to imports of cattle, bison, and horses from Mexico.
