Texas A&M AgriLife is leading the effort to stop the New World screwworm.

Earlier this month, the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced funding for 40 research projects through its New World Screwworm Grand Challenge. Out of 226 applications nationwide, Texas A&M AgriLife was selected to lead seven of the 40 funded projects and contribute to seven more — 14 in all.

The work spans sterile fly production, AI-enabled wound detection on ranches and dairies, drone surveillance, new traps and treatments, and electron beam technology as a non-radioactive way to sterilize screwworm pupae.

The goal is simple: catch outbreaks earlier and stop the pest before it spreads across Texas.

Does this fly look like a New World screwworm (NWS) fly?
Well…it is but it’s a sterile one, released as part of ongoing eradication efforts.

Sterile NWS flies are coated with fluorescent dye that glows under a blacklight, helping scientists quickly tell them apart from wild flies. Because the dye can be hard to see, we don’t encourage people to look for flies.

Instead, please watch your animals closely and report any signs of NWS infestation, such as draining wounds, maggots, egg masses, or discomfort. Early reporting protects animals and helps us stop the spread.
