The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is working in collaboration with Mexico to protect cattle from the foreign animal disease New World Screwworm. This has resulted in a temporary suspension of live cattle imports from Mexico.
Dr. Burkey Healey with APHIS joined RFD-TV’s own Suzanne Alexander to discuss what we know about the pests’ impact, the threat it poses to the U.S. herd, and what all is being done to protect the herd from it.
