New World Screwworm: Educational Resources for Zoetis Equine's industry partners

With the recent news that New World Screwworm (NWS) has been detected in the United States, we know you may be fielding questions and concerns from your members and organizational key stakeholders on this concerning situation.

 Immediate notification of suspected NWS infestation to the observer's veterinarian and state officials remains the best guidance to reduce NWS spread and impact; there are also proactive steps that can be taken to help prevent infestation in horses. We strongly encourage owners, trainers, barn managers, rescues, and equine centers to work with their veterinarian to determine the best course of action if their horses are at risk or if infestation is suspected.
