Screwworm Coalition launches resource website
The Screwworm Coalition of Texas, a coalition of 13 Texas landowner, livestock, equine and wildlife groups, has launched a new website to deliver reliable information about the New World screwworm, according to the Texas Cattle Feeders Association.
The site compiles information from lead agencies, including the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, Texas Animal Health Commission and Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
The new online resource, screwwormtx.org, offers the public and media easy access to factual information. It also serves as a platform to dispel rumors and correct misinformation regarding the status, planning, preparedness, prevention, and response to New World screwworm in Texas.
