अमेरिका: इंसान में मिला खतरनाक स्क्रूवर्म वायरस, मैरीलैंड से सामने आया मामला

The first case of New World Screwm (meat -eating parasite) has come to light in America. The US Health and Human Service Department has given information about this on Sunday. As soon as this news came to light, there has been a stir among cattle parents, meat growers and traders.

HHS spokesperson Andrew G. Nixon said in an email sent to Reuters that the matter was investigated by the Maryland Health Department and the US Disease Control and Prevention Center, which was confirmed by the CDC on 4 August as a new world screen. He told that this case is related to a person who returned from a trip to Al Salvador.

Earlier, Reuters had reported that beef industry sources claimed last week that CDC had confirmed the case of New World Screurm in a person in Maryland which was from Guatemala America Returned after traveling.

Nixon said that with the arrival of this medicine, the risk of public health in America is very low. Also, the US government has not confirmed any case in animals this year.

Increased concerns of cattle parents

This news has increased the concern of cattle parents, meat growers and traders, as Screwm is moving northward from Central America and Southern Mexico. The administration is cautious about this.

The USDA has estimated that the outbreak of screwmar may cause a loss of $ 1.8 billion in Texas. This damage will include death of animals, labor costs and drug expenses. To deal with this danger, USDA Secretary Brook Rollins has announced a plan to create a ‘Steril Fly Facility’ in Texas.

Apart from this, the state animal doctor of South Dakota, Beth Thompson, told the Reuters that he got information about the matter through a person, which was directly known to it. He said that CDC avoided the questions and put the responsibility on Maryland.

He said that we came to know from other paths and then we had to ask CDC what is really happening. He put it back to the state to confirm what the passenger found.

At the same time, another source said that the state veterinarians were informed about the human case in Maryland during a call with CDC. Later, an official of the Maryland State Government also confirmed the matter. However, a spokesman for the Maryland Health Department has not made any comments in the matter.

Beef Alliance wrote email

The Executive of the Beef Alliance said in his email that no other information about the case is available due to the confidentiality of the patient, but the patient has been treated.

A livestock economist at the University of Texas A & M was asked to prepare a report for Rollins about the impacts of closing the boundary for Mexican cattle who is applicable to prevent the arrival of Screwrms since November. The CDC was supposed to report this positive case to Maryland Health Officers and Maryland State Veterinary and other agricultural stakeholders were also informed.

The executive of the beef industry wrote, ‘We hope that awareness is still limited to industry representatives and state veterinarians. Therefore, the positive case is less likely to leak, which will reduce the impact on the market.

What is a screwer?

Screwmar is parasitic flies, whose females lay eggs in the wounds of any warm blood animal. After the larvae from the egg, they start eating hundreds of living meat, so that the animal dies if not treated. These insects have been named due to their way of eating. They are treated by removing hundreds of larvae and cleaning the wounds.
