Biological Threat of Parasitic Screwworm Larvae

The parasitic New World screwworm fly lays eggs in the open wounds of animals, where the larvae then consume the host's flesh. While primarily a threat to livestock, the infestation can also affect pets and, in rare cases, humans. The current outbreak is traced to the movement of infested animals from South America through Mexico into the Laredo area.
