Unlike other ordinary maggots that feed off dead tissue, screwworm larvae feed off living flesh, making it a serious agricultural and veterinary concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The U.S. eradicated screwworm in 1966 by releasing sterile male flies. Since female screwworms only mate once, mating with a sterile male produced no offspring. The species still exists in parts of South America but has been controlled with surveillance and sterile fly programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recently, an outbreak has spread through Central America and Mexico, and several animal cases have been confirmed in Texas and New Mexico. No human cases have been reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Does Screwworm Spread?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Screwworm is spread when an adult female fly lays eggs in an open wound or body opening such as the nose, ears, eyes, or mouth. The eggs then hatch into larvae, also known as maggots, which burrow into living tissue to feed. This can create a large and severe wound. If left untreated, it can cause serious injury, infection, and, in worst cases, death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cattle, sheep, goats, horses, and other livestock are the main animals affected. However, the larvae can also affect wildlife, pets such as dogs, and, in very rare cases, people. Although human infections are not common, there are higher risks for people who have open wounds and live in areas where screwworm flies are present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are Symptoms\/Signs in Pets?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Symptoms can include wounds that suddenly get larger and don\u2019t heal, sensitivity around a wound\/injury, swelling\/redness\/tenderness, bloody, malodorous discharge, visible maggots in a wound, excessive licking, scratching, or rubbing a wound, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If left untreated, the infection can lead to lethargy, loss of appetite, or fever. The situation can become serious quickly because, as the larvae grow, they can destroy healthy tissue, creating deep pockets in the skin that can cause severe infection. In severe cases, the problem can quickly progress to shock or death over a few days if untreated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Does This Mean for Pet Parents?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you see maggots in a wound on your pet and live in or have recently traveled through an affected area, seek veterinary care immediately. Prevent your pet from licking or scratching the wound, and do not attempt to treat at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dogs with open wounds that travel through affected regions are at higher risk. For most dog owners in the United States, screwworm remains rare. However, veterinarians and animal health officials are especially alert because of recent detections in livestock and wildlife in the Southwest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are concerned about a specific wound on your dog, please reach out to your veterinarian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u2014Ang\u00e9lica Calder\u00f3n, DVM<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Qu\u00e9 es el Gusano Barrenador, por qu\u00e9 es Importante y Deber\u00eda Preocuparme?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"Spanish\"><em><a href=\"#English\">Read in English<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>El gusano barrenador es una larva par\u00e1sita que se alimenta de carne viva y puede afectar a animales, y en raras ocasiones a seres humanos. Se trata de la fase larvaria de una mosca par\u00e1sita conocida como gusano barrenador del Nuevo Mundo (nombre cient\u00edfico: <em>Cochliomyia hominivorax<\/em>). La diferencia de otras larvas comunes que se alimentan de piel muerta es que las larvas del gusano barrenador consumen carne viva, lo que representa un grave problema para la agricultura y la medicina veterinaria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Estados Unidos erradic\u00f3 el gusano barrenador en 1966 mediante la liberaci\u00f3n de moscas macho est\u00e9riles. Dado que las hembras solo se aparean una vez, el apareamiento con un macho est\u00e9ril no produce descendencia. La especie a\u00fan persiste en algunas zonas de Sudam\u00e9rica, pero se ha logrado controlar gracias a programas de vigilancia y liberaci\u00f3n de moscas est\u00e9riles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recientemente, se ha propagado un brote por Centroam\u00e9rica y M\u00e9xico, y se han confirmado varios casos en animales en Texas y Nuevo M\u00e9xico. No se han registrado casos en humanos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">C\u00f3mo se Propaga el Gusano Barrenador?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>El gusano barrenador se propaga cuando una mosca hembra adulta deposita huevos en una herida abierta o en una abertura corporal, como la nariz, los o\u00eddos, los ojos o la boca. Posteriormente, los huevos eclosionan y dan lugar a larvas conocidas com\u00fanmente como gusanos, las cuales penetran la piel viva para alimentarse. Esto puede generar una herida extensa y grave. Si no se trata, puede provocar lesiones serias, infecciones y, en los casos m\u00e1s graves, la muerte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>El ganado vacuno, ovino, caprino y equino, as\u00ed como otros animales de granja, son los principales afectados; sin embargo, la plaga tambi\u00e9n puede afectar a mascotas como los perros, a la fauna silvestre y, en casos muy poco frecuentes, a los seres humanos. Aunque las infecciones en humanos no son habituales, existe un mayor riesgo para aquellas personas que presentan heridas abiertas y se encuentran en zonas donde est\u00e1 presente la mosca del gusano barrenador.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cu\u00e1les Son los S\u00edntomas en las Mascotas?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Los s\u00edntomas pueden incluir heridas que aumentan de tama\u00f1o repentinamente y no cicatrizan, sensibilidad alrededor de la herida o lesi\u00f3n, hinchaz\u00f3n, enrojecimiento o dolor, secreci\u00f3n sanguinolenta y maloliente, presencia visible de larvas en la herida, as\u00ed como lamido, rascado o frotamiento excesivo de la zona afectada, entre otros. Si no se trata, esto puede provocar letargo, p\u00e9rdida de apetito o fiebre. La situaci\u00f3n puede agravarse r\u00e1pidamente, ya que a medida que las larvas crecen, destruyen el tejido sano y crean cavidades profundas en la piel que pueden derivar en infecciones graves. En casos extremos, la falta de tratamiento puede conducir a un estado de shock o a la muerte, progresando con rapidez en cuesti\u00f3n de pocos d\u00edas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Qu\u00e9 Significa Esto para los Due\u00f1os de Mascotas?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Si observa larvas en una herida y vive en una zona afectada o ha viajado recientemente por ella, busque atenci\u00f3n veterinaria de inmediato. Evite que su mascota se lama o se rasque la herida y no intente tratarla en casa. Los perros con heridas abiertas que viajan por regiones afectadas corren un mayor riesgo. Para la mayor\u00eda de los due\u00f1os de perros en Estados Unidos, el gusano barrenador sigue siendo poco frecuente, sin embargo los veterinarios y las autoridades de sanidad animal se mantienen especialmente alerta debido a detecciones recientes en ganado y fauna silvestre en el suroeste del pa\u00eds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Si le preocupa alguna herida espec\u00edfica en su perro, por favor consulte a veterinario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u2014Ang\u00e9lica Calder\u00f3n, DVM<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sources of Information\/Fuentes de Informaci\u00f3n<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/new-world-screwworm\/about\/index.html\">https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/new-world-screwworm\/about\/index.html<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aphis.usda.gov\/livestock-poultry-disease\/cattle\/ticks\/screwworm\">https:\/\/www.aphis.usda.gov\/livestock-poultry-disease\/cattle\/ticks\/screwworm<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.avma.org\/news\/additional-screwworm-cases-confirmed-texas-livestock-new-mexico-dog\">https:\/\/www.avma.org\/news\/additional-screwworm-cases-confirmed-texas-livestock-new-mexico-dog<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leer en espa\u00f1ol Screwworm is a flesh-eating parasitic maggot that can attack animals and, rarely, humans.
