Nicolas Hulscher, MPH @NicHulscher - IVERMECTIN KILLS NEW WORLD SCREWWORMS IN BOTH HUMANS AND ANIMALS
LIVESTOCK: 12 studies found 97%+ prevention of New World screwworm infestation in cattle wounds
HUMANS: Documented complete larval elimination in severe oral and eye socket infestations
“Horse paste” wins again.

We’re moving fast and smart. Last year, I rolled out a bold five-point plan to protect American livestock and stop this pest in its tracks:
1. Invest into our sterile fly production through the construction of a massive $750M sterile fly production facility at Moore Air Base.
2. Protect the U.S. border at all costs through enhanced surveillance, sterile insect dispersal, trapping, and livestock movement controls.
3. Maximize readiness by partnering with states on emergency plans, training, and securing treatments.
4. Take the fight directly to the screwworm with increased sterile fly dispersals across the U.S. - Mexico border.
5. Innovate our way to eradication through cutting-edge research, more efficient production, better traps, and next-generation tools.
We’re already executing that plan on the ground:
• 20-km zones with strict movement controls around both detections.
• Heightened surveillance and trapping across the area.
