The New World screwworm is a parasitic fly that lays eggs in fresh wounds or openings of warm-blooded animals. Once hatched, the larvae feed on living tissue, causing severe damage, secondary infections and, if untreated, death. This invasive pest poses a significant threat to livestock, wildlife, pets and, in rare cases, people, making early detection and rapid response essential.
