Screwworm myiasis has been detected in bovine livestock, marking a significant outbreak that raises concerns for animal health. The incident was reported on March 25, 2025, and originates from Mexico. This parasitic infection is caused by the larvae of certain fly species, which can infest the wounds and tissues of livestock, leading to serious health implications for the affected animals.
The detection of this outbreak has prompted attention from agricultural health authorities, particularly the Servicio Nacional de Sanidad, Inocuidad y Calidad Agroalimentaria, which is responsible for monitoring and addressing such health issues in livestock. The presence of screwworm myiasis in bovine populations can have detrimental effects on livestock welfare, as well as potential economic impacts on the agricultural sector.
As the situation develops, it is critical for stakeholders in the livestock industry to remain informed about the potential spread of this condition and the measures being implemented to control it. Continuous monitoring and reporting will play a vital role in managing this outbreak and mitigating its effects on bovine livestock.
