New World Screwworm — Livestock Awareness Tracker

⚠️ Independent educational prototype. Not affiliated with any government agency. Data is summarized from public sources and may be incomplete or out of date. Always verify with official USDA APHIS and Texas Animal Health Commission sources. Nothing here is veterinary, agricultural, or food-safety advice.

🔎 Sourcing Context Lookup

Enter a restaurant chain or major grocer to see a neutral summary of its publicly reported beef sourcing, with a source link and a map of any named facilities relative to detections. General context only — not a safety assessment. ~70 brands loaded (Taco Bell, Texas Roadhouse, H-E-B, Walmart, Whole Foods, and more).

🗺️ Detections & Affected Areas

Zoomable map of all reported detections. Markers sit at approximate county centers; the shaded circle is an illustrative infested/quarantine zone, not an official boundary. The view auto-expands as new cases are added in any state.

📋 Confirmed & Reported Cases

🪰 Screwworm Life Cycle

Females lay eggs at the edge of a wound; larvae (the "screwworms") burrow into living tissue, then drop to the soil to pupate and emerge as adult flies. Recognizing it early and reporting it is key.
