screwworm.gov is the central public resource for tracking and understanding the New World screwworm response.
It’s where @USDA and our partners post confirmed cases as they’re verified, share surveillance updates, and keep the Screwworm Playbook in the hands of responders in the field. The point is simple: everyone is working off the same real-time, science-based information, so decisions on the ground stay aligned and misinformation doesn’t fill the gaps.
