Dogs and other mammals coming in from Haiti could bring back the screwworm. These horrible parasites have been eradicated in the United States since 1982. The screwworm is about twice the size of a normal housefly and so are the maggots it produces. The blue-grey or grey fly with large orange eyes lays its' eggs in the open wound of dogs, cattle, and other mammals. One female can lay up to 2,800 eggs during her month lifespan.
The eggs hatch into larvae that look a lot like a common maggot. For roughly a week, they eat the flesh of the animal. The maggots then drop to the ground and tunnel in before forming their pupae. Three to five days later, they hatch and fly away to start the whole cycle over again.
Remember that as many as 2,800 of these are born a month from one fly. As they grow to half an inch, they eat living flesh, not the dead flesh a typical maggot eats. The fly lays up to 400 eggs at a time, so these creatures can eat an animal alive. Animals usually die in 7 to 14 days unless treatment is done quickly.
Because of the earthquake in Haiti, dogs are being allowed in without a health certificate. They are, however, supposed to be examined by the USDA veterinarian when coming in. However, the last two cases of screwworm in Texas were discovered by private veterinarians, meaning the USDA vets missed the eggs or worms.
The stakes are pretty high. The wounds may close due to healing with the maggots trapped inside. The maggots then keep eating until ready to leave, then chew out. Most animals become uncomfortable, may stop eating, and may produce less milk. They may also hide because of pain.
Animals are treated with an approved organophosphate insecticide to provide protection against the flies for 7 to 10 days. If maggots are observed they must be removed from the wound with tweezers. The most effective control is by eradication.
In a state where cattle ranching is still important, the stakes to the entire area are considerable. It is estimated that the U.S. livestock industry would suffer $750 million losses annually if screwworms got loose in the country again. Rescue groups bringing animals back from any country should be careful to ensure they are disease free. It is especially necessary to make sure animals from this country be disease free. Dip dogs with an approved organophosphate, even if normally you never use pesticides. Examine the dog carefully for masses that could be maggots. Look carefully at wounds to ensure there are no eggs or maggots in them, either. Care should be taken that those rescuing one animal from Haiti do not imperil the many animals here.
