In early June 2026, cases of New World Screwworm (NWS, hereinafter screwworm) have been detected in southwest Texas and New Mexico. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and state departments of agriculture and health officials are working together to address the issue.
The American Kennel Club (AKC) recommends that all dog owners, or anyone who works with dogs, to learn about NWS and to stay updated on developments. Additionally, anyone potentially engaging in interstate transportation with dogs—owners, AKC event competitors, professional handlers, and interstate transporters, including those that are part of shelter and rescue operations—should become familiar with new health and animal movement requirements imposed to help prevent further spread of the pest.
