Texas ranchers and rural households: make New World screwworm awareness part of your animal-check routine. Livestock, pets and wildlife can be affected.

Watch for:
• Irritated behavior
• Head shaking
• A decaying smell
• Larvae in wounds

These warning signs do not confirm a diagnosis. If you suspect New World screwworm, report it immediately to state animal-health officials and USDA APHIS. Follow your veterinarian’s recommendations for treatment.

Around the ranch, handle livestock carefully and check pens and equipment for sharp objects that could cause wounds. These precautions are not a guarantee against infestation.

Have policy-specific questions? Contact Scordo Insurance Agency separately from animal-health reporting and care. Coverage varies by policy and circumstances; the available evidence does not establish disease-loss coverage or support a promise of claims payment.
