Tools and resources to prepare for and respond to an outbreak of NWS.
Search an address to see if you are in a New World screwworm zone.
IMPORT: <\/strong>For a complete list of regions USDA recognizes as affected by screwworm and any temporary trade restrictions, visit Animal Health Status of Regions<\/u><\/a>. Detailed information about import requirements for all animal species regulated by USDA is available at Live Animal Imports<\/u><\/a>.
EXPORT: <\/strong>For detailed information about restrictions on exports of live animals, go to Live Animal Exports<\/a>. 
Currently, all southern ports of entry are closed to livestock trade<\/u><\/a>.
USDA proposes a phased reopening of Southern ports to livestock trade<\/a>, contingent upon satisfactory progress on priority Action Plan milestones. 
USDA Continues to Lead Aggressive National NWS Response<\/a>
If you see any suspicious wounds, maggots, or infestations in animals or people, report it immediately.<\/a> 
Map will be updated on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 5 p.m. ET. List of cases within 100 miles will be updated each business day at 5 p.m. ET.
The sterile insect release area, or polygon, is adjusted as needed to maintain broad suppression and help prevent the pest from spreading to new areas.
**Our highest priority remains protecting the United States, and USDA adjusts the sterile insect dispersal area based on science and modeling to provide the most protection.
*<\/sup><\/small> Mexico\u2019s National Service of Health, Food Safety, and Quality (SENASICA) defines a case as active at the time of diagnosis. After 15 days, the case is revisited and becomes inactive if personnel verify absence of new wounds or larvae.<\/small><\/em>
Additional information on the current situation in Mexico is available via the <\/strong>SENASICA website.
Visit SENASICA<\/strong><\/a>
Updated information on the current situation in Central America is available via the <\/strong>Panama-United States Commission for the Eradication and Prevention of Screwworm (COPEG) website.
