Nick PapagniHOST
This would not open...
Nick PapagniHOST
If we didn't have a bead on it, and this is great news, every animal entering the United States will undergo a full USDA inspection to ensure it's free any signs of the New World Screw Worm.
Nick PapagniHOST
That's great news.
Nick PapagniHOST
All lives will be on Santa Teresa because this has to work.
Louise GartnerHOST
Again, that is scheduled to be opening today, in addition to the Douglas, Arizona port that opened a month ago.
Louise GartnerHOST
So New World Screwworm cases, still pretty light.
Louise GartnerHOST
In the United States, to date, we've got 50 cases that have been reported.
Louise GartnerHOST
There are only two that are active.
Nate SheetsGUEST
I mean, We still do get rain, maybe not as much as we have in the past, but when we do get it, we want to make sure that we're letting it soak into the ground and start to recharge aquifers over time.
Tucker BrownHOST
You've come into this conversation of this position at a pretty critical time, having the border closed from New World Screw Worm or the beef that's being imported that's impacting a lot of ranchers.
Tucker BrownHOST
Those are two things that were on the question list a lot too.
Tucker BrownHOST
One of those, for the New World Screw Worm, does that have anything to do with Texas Ag Commissioner and what can you do about it?
Nate SheetsGUEST
Well, I think it does have to do with Texas Ag Commissioner and that's to realize what role you actually play.
Nate SheetsGUEST
And so there's been an antagonistic relationship so far with USDA and APHIS and even Texas Animal Health.
Brett BaylesHOST
So that just continues our concern.
Brett BaylesHOST
Concern and my countdown clock that keeps me up at night is when will it evolve into something that can spread easily from people to people? There's also the old New World Screw Worm.
Brett BaylesHOST
which has emerged in cattle after more than half a century without a single case in this country.
Brett BaylesHOST
And of course, we have the foodborne disease outbreaks, E. coli linked to alfalfa sprouts.
Cassandra GarrisonGUEST
It's almost impossible.
speaker_12HOST
Cassandra, obviously you are sounding an alarm about concerns over illegal smuggling in the fight against the New World Screwworm.
speaker_12HOST
Do you get a sense that officials on either side of the border are taking it seriously as well?
Cassandra GarrisonGUEST
Well, it's something that U.S. officials literally just started speaking publicly about recently.
Mariann SullivanHOST
A couple of disease updates.
Mariann SullivanHOST
Screwworm reappears in New Mexico as cattle trade resumes.
Mariann SullivanHOST
This is about a horse in southwestern New Mexico.
Mariann SullivanHOST
So, you know, maybe cattle trade with Mexico shouldn't resume.
Brooke RollinsGUEST
AOC says the world's ending in 12 years because of cattle emissions amongst other things.
Brooke RollinsGUEST
I mean, so the fact that the price went so high up under Democrats and the cattlemen stopped expanding their herd under the democrats why would you when you're being told that you're destroying the world so it's a little different than chickens and eggs literally because you can sort of begin to solve for that in a couple of months chickens born four months later they lay an egg you're off to the races cattle are different a mama cow is born right a heifer takes her two years to get to the point where she can reproduce she throws a calf it takes two more years to get that calf to slaughter it just takes a long time to rebuild the herd While you have the New World Screwworm, we had to close the ports along the border of Mexico for that parasite.
Brooke RollinsGUEST
We've now begun to reopen.
Brooke RollinsGUEST
That's a whole other story.
Jeff AllenHOST
Keep in mind, earlier this year, grocery giant Albertson Safeway LLC similarly agreed not to apply Produce Max to produce in its Texas stores.
Jeff AllenHOST
The Texas Animal Health Commission will allow animals to move freely after releasing a New World Screwworm infestation zone in Elvade County from quarantine restrictions.
Jeff AllenHOST
The commission placed restrictions on Zone 11 after New World Screwworm was detected in the county in June.
Jeff AllenHOST
USDA released sterile New World Screwworm flies in the affected area.
Jeff AllenHOST
that in an effort to eliminate the wild screwworm population.
Jeff AllenHOST
The commission's executive director, Louis Dingus, said in the order that risk of an ongoing infection is substantially reduced because of the sterile flies, animal inspections, treatment protocols, movement controls, and continued surveillance.
Jeff AllenHOST
The commission also adjusted another zone to release portions of Edwards, Sutton, and Val Verde counties from the movement restrictions.
Jeff AllenHOST
The quarantine zone went up after NWS was detected on a bovine in Edwards County also in the month of June.
Paige Schmidt-RiosGUEST
So it maybe looks more frequent, but maybe isn't necessarily.
Paige Schmidt-RiosGUEST
But when we talk about emerging or common health issues, I have to talk about New World Screw Worm.
Paige Schmidt-RiosGUEST
Another one I deal with a lot is Thylaria Orientalis, which is the bloodborne disease spread by Asian Longhorn ticks.
Paige Schmidt-RiosGUEST
But I think one thing that is important with that is with social media and all the media we have, that information is spread so much more easily.
Brooklyn Ann WeldonPANELIST
Once this continues to play itself out, given the direction it's going, I mean, people are really going to have grievance with the rising prices, there's no wind in sight, and the shortages that are coming and will continue with beef and the...
Brooklyn Ann WeldonPANELIST
New World Screw Worm and drought and worsening storms.
Scott GershwerPANELIST
No immigrants to do the work on the cheap, right?
