Doctors carefully remove fly larvae from a patient diagnosed with myiasis, a parasitic infestation in which fly larvae invade and feed on living or necrotic tissue. Prompt treatment is essential to prevent infection, tissue damage, and other complications.

The U.S. has confirmed its first human case of a New World Screwworm infestation. The patient had recently returned from El Salvador, bringing attention to this rare but dangerous parasitic threat. New World Screwworms are fly larvae that feed on living tissue, capable of infesting livestock, pets, wildlife, and occasionally birds and humans. There is no medication to treat it, according to the CDC.

Mulago National Referral Hospital doctors have successfully done a parasitic twin surgery. A surgical procedure was done to remove an underdeveloped, parasitic twin from a living host twin. The surgery was successfully done and the viable twin is doing well. A Parasitic twin surgery is usually a life-saving procedure to remove an underdeveloped, dependent twin (parasite) from a fully formed, healthy twin (autosite). It is necessary to eliminate risks like infection, heart failure, or organ damage caused by the parasitic tissues.

Ivermectin is the wonder drug that keeps on giving: It’s now showing promise against the New World screwworm in both cattle AND HUMANS. Multiple field trials and case reports have found that ivermectin can kill the larvae responsible for these devastating infestations. In one human case series, physicians treated six patients suffering from severe oral infestations. After receiving ivermectin, the remaining larvae died and became significantly easier to remove. All six patients recovered without major complications. Another report described two patients with New World screwworm infestations around the eye socket. The larvae had burrowed deep into surrounding tissue, creating a serious risk of progressive tissue destruction. After treatment with ivermectin and wound debridement, the larvae died, could be removed more effectively, and further damage was brought under control. The findings mirror what veterinarians have observed for years in livestock, where ivermectin has been used to combat parasitic infestations that threaten animal health and agricultural production. Once again, ivermectin appears to be doing exactly what it was designed to do: kill parasites. “Horse paste” wins again. For the full details, read Nicolas Hulscher, MPH's report:

The Screw Worm Has Infected a Dog. If You Want to Unify America, That's How You Do It. Americans coalesced around protecting pets before. They'll do it again. The New World screw worm — fly larvae that invade living tissue — is a serious threat to diabetic patients, open wounds, and animals with sores. The strategy to neutralize it: release sterile flies along the border to disrupt breeding. Early treatment with ivermectin kills the eggs before the larvae grow large enough to require surgical removal. This is a real threat with a real solution — and ivermectin is at the center of it again.

🚨 Brutal attack on a senior doctor in Udaipur during the management of treatment-related complications. A deeply disturbing incident has been reported from #Udaipur, where relatives of a patient manhandled and assaulted senior physician and Rajasthan IMA President Dr. Anand Gupta at Geetanjali Hospital. Violence against doctors can never be justified. Medical complications are an unfortunate reality of healthcare, but assaulting healthcare professionals only undermines patient care and creates a climate of fear within hospitals. A safe working environment for doctors is essential for safe patient care. Enough is enough. PMO India CMO Rajasthan Government of Rajasthan #StopViolenceAgainstDoctors

🚨FLESH-EATING PARASITE FOUND IN SOUTH TEXAS CALF🚨 Meet the New World screwworm fly. Eradicated since 1966 in the US, this parasitic fly lays eggs in fresh wounds of warm-blooded animals. The larvae feed on the host’s flesh, which — if left untreated — can cause the animal to die. While the screwworm fly is NOT contagious, it does threaten the cattle industry. It’s rare for humans to contract the parasite, but a Maryland man who traveled to El Salvador was diagnosed with this visitor in 2025. The US Department of Agriculture is releasing millions of sterilized screwworm flies into targeted areas because female flies only mate once. This method — called Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) — will help to stop the spread of the screwworm fly. Cattle ranchers should be on the lookout for rapidly growing, foul-smelling wounds that have white egg masses.

THEY EAT YOU ALIVE | Going Rogue with Lara Logan | Episode 86 A tiny wound is all it takes. The New World screwworm fly is attracted to open wounds—even something as small as a tick bite. It lays eggs in living tissue that hatch within hours. The larvae then begin feeding on live flesh, while more flies are drawn to the wound to lay even more eggs. Could this flesh-eating parasite become America’s next border security and food supply crisis?

If you’ve got the stomach for it, you can watch 10,000 maggots demolish a pizza in 2 hours. Thanks to this research, scientists have a better sense of how these fly larvae gobble food so quickly, a possible boon for sustainable food production. Some companies are collecting a bit of the 1.3 billion tons of food waste humans produce annually and feeding it to hordes of maggots. Once they’re plump on rotten leftovers, the larvae can be turned into high-protein food for animals such as chickens and fish that humans are more interested in eating. To study how these maggots stuff themselves on large quantities of food, researchers recorded black soldier fly larvae chowing down on orange slices in a 35-liter aquarium. The team searched for patterns in the squirming mass by tracking the flow of individual maggots with software used to model the movement of fluids. Despite the appearance of chaos, the larvae moved like water being pumped through a fountain, the researchers reported in 2019. Hungry maggots pushed toward the food from the bottom, and satiated larvae were pumped up and over the top of the pile to the back of the line. Learn more:

The flesh-eating New World screwworm has been found in Texas, with the parasite infecting at least one animal – a 3-week-old calf, according to the USDA. The screwworm fly usually infests livestock and other warm-blooded animals – including, in rare cases, people – by laying its eggs in open wounds or orifices such as the eyes, ears, nose or mouth, which can then eat living tissue or flesh once they hatch, according to the CDC. CBS News' Jason Allen has more from Texas.
