“Under the decisive leadership of Secretary Rollins, USDA is leading an aggressive, whole-of-government response to protect the Nation’s livestock, wildlife, and public health from New World screwworm (NWS).

This unified national collaboration is guided by the U.S. One Health Coordination Unit for NWS (U.S. OHCU–NWS), co-led by USDA, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Department of the Interior. Together, we are planning for a phased response strategy that includes early detection, rapid containment, and long-term eradication efforts.”
