Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins says the U.S. is on track to eradicate New World screwworm cases through a coordinated federal effort. Officials are releasing 100 million sterile flies each week in Mexico and Texas to stop the spread of the flesh-eating parasite, with a new domestic production facility expected to increase releases to 500 million flies per week. Watch OAN on OAN Live for updates.

Rep. Fletcher: The New World screwworm has been found in Texas. This flesh-eating parasite previously eradicated from the U.S. poses a huge threat to our cattle. Last March, the Trump administration fired more than 15,000 USDA employees and eliminated a program to contain the screwworm in Central America. The threat of New World screwworm is just one consequence of the Trump administration's reckless campaign to eliminate funding for government programs that Americans rely on.

🚨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.

🚨 Possible Flesh-Eating New World Screwworm Parasite Case Under Investigation in South Texas Federal officials are investigating a potential “outbreak” of the New World screwworm — a dangerous flesh-eating parasite that was eradicated from the U.S. in the 60’s— after samples from two calves in South Texas were sent to a federal laboratory for testing. Brooke Rollings, Sec of Agriculture doesn’t seem to worried about it… but the MSM is trying to hype it up.

THE FLESH-EATING FLY THREAT IS SPREADING Watch Full Episode: Lara Logan sits down with former U.S. Border Patrol agent and Texas Public Policy Foundation Senior Research Fellow Ammon Blair to examine the growing threat of the New World Screwworm. Once nearly eradicated from the United States, this flesh-eating parasite has returned, putting livestock, wildlife, pets, and even humans at risk. Blair explains how the parasite spreads, why warmer southern states are especially vulnerable, the staggering economic damage already being seen across the Americas, and how cartel-controlled cattle operations have drawn the attention of investigators tracking both organized crime and the spread of the screwworm. #LaraLogan #Screwworm #BorderSecurity #FoodSecurity #NationalSecurity

South African scientists race to develop Ebola vaccines The Bundibugyo strain of #Ebola spreading in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda has raised alarm because existing vaccines and treatments may be less effective against it. South African scientists are joining global efforts to fast-track research, including possible mRNA vaccine technology, while strengthening surveillance and outbreak response systems.

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?

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.
