Federal Screwworm Regulations
Now Affect All Texas Livestock
COLEMAN DEMOCRAT-VOICE

Coleman, Texas, August 24, 1976
All livestock' shipped out, of
Texas must now meet federal
inspection and certification
requirements, the I'.S. De-
partment of Agriculture
A SDAl announced Tuesday,
Aug. 3,- 0 '
These intensified regula
lions are the result of action by •
V.SOA's Animal and Plant
Health* Inspection Service
(APHIS) designating the entire
state of Texas as an area of
recurring screwworm infesta
lions. Prior to this announce-
ment, only the 39 southern
counties of the state were so
designated.
APHIS, officials said the
change will mean that all
livestock, including cattle,
sheep, swine, goals, horses,
mules and burros shipped from
Texas must he inspected by
state or federal animal health
officials or accredited. veteri
nan,ins and be certified free of
screw worms before shipment.
Animals found' to be infested
with ihe parasite will be
treated, and the entire ship
ment of livestock will be
' sprayed or dipped with a
USD A approved insecticide.
In addition, all animals
shipped from Texas into south-
, eastern states are required to
be dipped or sprayed even if
found to be screwworm free.
These special requirements
have been initiated in order to
prevent the spread of screw-
worms into the Southeast, an
area which has been free of the
parasite for over 15 years,
Previously, cattle shipped in
interstate channels from Texas
counties not designated as
areas or recurring screwworm
infestations were qot required
to be inspected and treated for
the parasite before shipment.
Many b( these cattle, hid
•wounds or disease conditions,
w hich "could h%rhor screw
worms. When moved without
restriction, these cattle could
he the means by which
M-rew worms were spread to
uninfested states. -
Texas has been placed under
stricter federal regulation as
the result of an increase in the
■number of laboratory confirm
ed screwworm cases in the
state in recent months. These
cases threaten to facilitate the
spread of this parasite of all
warmblooded animals.
So far this year, over
one half of the 254 countits in
Texas have reported screw-
worm cases. Even a greater
number of cases are expected
during the traditionally heavi-
est months, August ^through
November. The already serious
number of -screwwiorm cases
reported this year has’been due
to heavy rainfill in the state,
producing ideal environmental
conditions for the increase in
screwortns.
Owners of livestock should
constantly check their animals
for screw worm infestations and
submit specimen larvae
iwiornis) in the prepaid, self
addressed mailing kits avail-'
able from County Extension
Agents office, suggests Dr.
Robert Miller, of USDA’s
Mission, Tex., screwworm
laboratory.
Screwworms are the larvae,
or worms, of the screwworm
fly. Female flies lay their eggs
on the edge of an open wound
on any warmblooded animal.
The eggs hatch, and the tiny
larvae burrow into the wound
to feed on the living flesh.
Odors produced by the feeding
larvae attract other female
screwworm flies, which reinfest
the wound with their eggs.
Untreated infestations often
result in the death, of 'the
animal,
The USDA s Screwworm
Eradication Program, operated
by,APHIS, is designed to
eradicate the wild screwworm
fly population by releasing
millions of sexually sterile
screw worm flies every week to
mate w ith the fertile wild flies.
Matings between fertile and
sterile flies produce eggs that
do not hatch, thus breaking the
screw worm life-cycle.
Red Cross
Here To Aid
The purpose of the American
Red Cross is the meeting of
human needs . . to help people
in trouble , . to serve the
military.and their families.. to
give emergency aid in case of
disaster.
The Red Cross participates in
worthwhile community pro-
grams, such as Swim and Life
saving, Home Nursing and
First Aid classes. These are
available, taught by qualified
instructors.
It is satisfying to the
servicemen in Coleman County
that they can call on the
Coleman County Red Cross for
help from where they are
stationed in every part of the
world . . and Coleman County-
can be proud to help.
