The U.S. Department of Agriculture recently announced the launch of a new unified New World Screwworm website, screwworm.gov.
This new site will centralize NWS information available across the federal government and reflects the whole-of-government effort to fight the pest through the implementation of Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins’ comprehensive five pronged plan.
Screwworm.gov has targeted resources for a wide range of stakeholders, including livestock producers, veterinarians, animal health officials, wildlife professionals, healthcare providers, pet owners, researchers, drug manufacturers, and the general public.
“This new unified website will be a one-stop shop for all screwworm-related information and will help our stakeholders be better informed as new information becomes available,” Rollins said.
“We are grateful for the robust Interagency collaboration and continue working every day with our state and industry partners to implement our screwworm plan, which has a national security priority and the full attention of our team.”
