Parasitic larvae from flies known as New World screwworm are causing alarm as they infest cattle in Mexico. Officials are working tirelessly to prevent the spread across the southern border. The outbreak threatens American livestock and could significantly impact agricultural industries and beef prices.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has responded by halting imports of live cattle, horses, and bison from the south. This ban, initially lifted, was reinstated in May due to rising concerns. The USDA’s actions reflect the gravity of the situation as they attempt to protect American beef production.
Colin Woodall, CEO of the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, emphasized the seriousness of the threat. “This pest is a flesh-eating parasite,” he said, underscoring the need for action. The potential for a prolonged battle against this pest is clear.
The U.S. typically imports over a million cattle from Mexico annually. An extended import freeze could lead to rising beef prices as supply dwindles. This economic strain is a source of anxiety for ranchers and consumers alike.
Millions of dollars in livestock are currently stranded in Mexico. Ranchers are worried about their livelihoods and the potential disruptions to the supply chain. As reported by local media in Texas, the situation is dire.
Screwworm infestations are not limited to cattle; they can affect any warm-blooded animal. This includes livestock, wildlife, pets, and in rare cases, humans. The larvae infest open wounds, causing severe suffering to the host animal.
The economic impact if the screwworm spreads to the U.S. could be devastating. Texas alone could face billions in losses in the cattle and wildlife sectors. This highlights the urgency of the situation, as Texas is a leading beef producer.
The USDA’s goal is to keep the screwworm out of the U.S. entirely. However, preparations are underway in case it spreads further north. The cost of labor, production, and medications for treatment are significant concerns.
Industry experts warn of serious economic repercussions if the infestation is not controlled. Mike Shultz, vice-president of the Organization for Competitive Markets, stressed the importance of securing the border. “If you don’t have a secure border, you have nothing,” he asserted.
Don Roose, President of U.S. Commodities, also voiced concern about market stability. He referenced past market disruptions due to diseases like mad cow disease. Even rumors of a screwworm outbreak can unsettle the market.
Colin Woodall noted the role of sterile flies in combating the pest. By releasing sterile flies, the screwworm population can be controlled. However, determining the number required to be effective is crucial.
The Panama-U.S. Commission for the Eradication and Prevention of the Cattle Borer Worm is at the forefront of this effort. Their lab in Panama produces millions of sterile flies weekly. Yet, there’s concern that this may not suffice.
The USDA has pledged $21 million towards a production facility in Mexico. The urgency of establishing a domestic facility is paramount. Woodall stressed the need for more production capacity.
A similar outbreak in the 1960s was mitigated using sterile flies. However, it resulted in significant financial losses before being controlled. The lessons from history underscore the need for swift action.
Stephen Diebel of the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association remains hopeful. “We do have a solution for this,” he said, referring to the sterile fly method. Timely production and release are key to preventing escalation.
The USDA is committed to effective eradication. Ensuring the timely deployment of sterile flies is critical. The industry is on high alert, ready to respond as needed.
This better be stopped!!

Fk 0ff Parasite!!
Our Country is being attacked on all fronts!
What y’all think that Communist Chinese Bio-terrorist operative’s arrests were all about! Many operatives are already here at work sabotaging anything and everything they can!
This is the most EVIL Time in all of America’s history!
Lawrence, the head of Alqeda has informed all Muslim terrorists in the United States to begin jehad.
All Law Abiding American Citizens needs to be prepared and fully armed.
Just wait and see bombs will detonated in shopping malls, businesses and Universities and Schools.
America must not hesitate shoot to kill is the only way to save American Citizens.
Michael; I agree totally and I knew it was a matter of time before the fuse would be lit as the Fake Biden/Harris administration with that Commie POS Mayorkas allowed thousands possibly tens of thousands of enemy combatants into America through the porous Border and probably even flew in many to be ready for this very operation!!!
The Third World War has begun and this time it is a real World War which will be fought even here on our home turf!
Damn straight that the Citizens better be prepared because we’ve witnessed how little most of our elected officials care about any of our hineys as they kept raking in all that easy moola!
I don’t know if America will survive this HELL,
Violent protesters are causing chaos and looting, destruction of Police cruser’s, And Federal buildings and businesses being broke into with theft.
We’ve got Communist China bringing in a Deadly Fungus to kill plant life, cattle and humans.
We’ve got Al Queda calling all Muslim Terrorist to begin Jihad in America.
We’ve got Communist Demonic Democrats catering and siding with rioters and Senator Murphy calling for violent riots across America.
Walmart is being publicly announcing to side with rioters and now anti Trump, so a nation wide boycott is being called for.
And Trump supporters are right in the middle of all this bullshit so I say do what Ron DeSantis, Sheriff said, if you block a car from driving then you’ll get run over and dragged. If you throw bricks or fire bombs or point a gun at a Police Officer then your family will be called where to send the body because you’ll be grave yard dead.
And to me that’s the American way, to handle the problem.
God Bless you and God bless America and God Bless President Trump.
Michael; I was just thinking how this country has already devolved into something that isn’t America anymore and massive numbers of its inhabitants DO NOT respect or want Law and Order! All the Gimme-Gimme and Take-Take has possessed too many people’s minds and souls! The demonic forces have infiltrated this society Big Time and as I stated many a time in the last couple of years The Evil China Empire of the most diabolical have plans to own all of America and they are damn well near to that goal more than ever! In that hell society they pull people off the streets to harvest their organs or because they didn’t bow when told are dragged away to be stuck in a slave labor camp or disappeared in portable incinerators, that Bill Gates was involved in the development off by the way! The evil is consuming as much good as it can as fast as it can, and the one thing we have is “Hope” because we do know who prevailed against all evil and why; so never give up the ship as they say!
And I agree there are so many derelict evil people out there now that really need to be “grave yard dead.” And it appears that everything is heating up fast to “one big battle!”
God bless you and yours and our Great America!
Our great nation was allowed to be overwhelmed with all of this evil by the Corrupted, Liberals, Leftists, Marxists and the demonic within and without!
Exactly, now I have read that Iran has almost completed the nuclear bomb, those barbaric inhuman Muslims are still chanting Death To America and Isreal.!
Trump must destroy Iran completely off the planet and drop the bomb in the heart of Iran.
Absolutely Spot-On Michael!
Where are all of the Demoncraps/Rinos that were screaming “Nobody is Above the Law” for the last 10 years! Apparently they didn’t mean that because Rioters, Looters and Anarchist Activists are ABOVE THE LAW along with all Foreign Alien Invaders that trample upon the US Constitution, the American Citizens, Law Enforcement and America’s Sovereignty!!!
I just had the following to say elsewhere on this site that fully applies here too!
About time we talk in plain English so that even the most moronic and the Leftist in this Nation like those that spew shit on CNN, MSNBC or Washington Post get their facts straight! And I quote from this article report!
“Left-leaning commentators accused McGraw of stirring anti-immigrant sentiment. Monica Hesse of the Washington Post criticized McGraw’s alleged involvement with ICE.”
There was “NO” that is “ZERO” anti-immigrant sentiment! How does anyone with “a freaking clue” classify nearly 15 Million foreign INVADERS many of which are Criminals, Terrorists, Enemy Combatants and plain parasites that were allowed to flow into the country during Biden’s “FRAUD FAKE” autopen presidency, none of which actually applied to “emigrant” to America by “due process under United States Immigration Law” and be “properly vetted and determined suitable to enter the nation under Constitutional guidelines and subsequently follow the Immigration Policies and Laws;” like any others have done “through the centuries?!” “Not possible” and those that entered have “Violated America’s National Sovereignty and all Pertinent Law” to “willfully invade our Nation which is a Constitutional Republic;” not some 3rd World shithole, Marxist, Monarchy, Oligarchy, Criminal Dictatorship, or even fouled up Socialist quickly sinking into oblivion “European” nation!
All who entered improperly are here in violation of said laws making them Foreign Criminal Invaders absolutely subject to “Immediate REMOVAL;” voluntarily if they will, but if not then by Military and Police FORCE!
Anyone that doesn’t agree with me is “Dead WRONG” and all I have to say is “TOUGH SHIT!”
“America was never meant to be the “World’s Doormat” and I am absolutely against all of these people from foreign lands that have done this to my Country, and I say “Get the Hell Out!~”
One way or the other you’re all “Out of Here!”
{BYE!}
“Well bye – Powers Boothe as Curly Bill Brocius in the movie Tombstone”

And as far as Iran; that hellhole is a nesting or breeding ground for demons straight from hell! It needs to be “GROUND ZERO!”
Typo *none of which actually applied to “emigrate” to America*
Wrote the following moments ago elsewhere on this site which in essence fits this and many current governmental situations in America!
So what happened to “Nobody is Above the LAW” being a Trump dogma; this seems like Mr. Trump has sashayed over to the “Demoncrap Fraud Biden Camp” of doing what’s best for some (ruling class) but, not so much for the Majority of us middle class Citizens! Why isn’t Schiff, Schumer, Fauci, Gates, McConnell, Biden, Pelosi, Comey, Garland, Mayorkas and so many others locked up awaiting trial? The nation is where it is because of them and many others like them!
And I quote:
[“noncriminal collaterals,” referring to undocumented individuals without known criminal activities.]
I beg to differ Mr. Trump; they’re “all Illegal Foreign INVADERS” and have “VIOLATED America’s National Sovereignty and Constitutional LAW of the Land!”
I was already checking off one huge screw-up I was right about before you did it; that being you getting Elon Musk so involved in our Government, and now you going “Wishy-washy on the Constitution really takes the cake!”
What it comes down to is all of you “Fat Cats and Politically Elites are Players!”
See ya wouldn’t want to be ya when God’s judgment is upon you!
Lawrence you said it exactly right.
Have you heard that President Trump found a bill signed by Bill Clinton that states;
Illegals have no Constitutional rights and shall be deported without Due Process.
Those Communist Democrats stood beside Clinton and never screamed a word about Due Process like they’re doing to President Trump.!
Trump should ignore the Communist Courts and tell them to take a flying Fuc*, just like the Communist Democrats do and ignore any subpoena handed to him.
Michael; I totally agree and those Demoncraps with their activist stooge judges are the biggest LYING HYPOCRITES around! I had forgotten that Clinton had stated that, but, I knew how the Constitution Prohibits such blatant disregard to “America’s National Sovereignty” and gives NO RIGHTS to such invaders; that was why immigration rules and laws were established; we get to check out and pick who gets to come and settle here! In days of old they took care of that INVADING SORT quickly and most people in other lands knew better and had enough respect than to try taking advantage of America; but now with “NO Consequences meted out” and instead free monthly debit cards for thousands in $Cash, full medical, free housing, social security numbers and other freebies, those derelict foreign invaders shit all over our nation and Citizens and laugh at us while we Citizens are strapped with all these TAX burdens while we each try to make ends meet monthly! That process only breeds more hostile criminal minded parasites who terrorize and rape a nation like we see in so many places south of the border or in Africa, the Middle East and beyond; now just last week burning the American Flag in Los Angeles!
Allowing this to happen to our nation tells me one big thing about many in the power grid of politics; they don’t give a damn about “WE the Citizens!” Those renegade activist judges I agree are traitors and must be ignored like the worthless scums they are!
It will take some miracles to reverse this trend and I pray we get that reprieve, but, at the same time I know this is all headed to the “BIG ONE” the cataclysmic “END” (Judgment Day) so I figure God’s will be done! Amen.
I will say this that if by some Godsend I’m called to stand up and be counted in some Patriotic and Godly Way to Defend all that’s good about our great nation I will! God is with us! In Jesus’ name I pray!
Amen.
