德克萨斯州续签新世界螺旋蝇灾害公告:全州灾害状态延续防范疫情北扩

德克萨斯州州长 Greg Abbott 于11月签署公告,续期该州关于新世界螺旋蝇(New World screwworm)的灾害公告。公告在州府奥斯汀(Austin)签发,Travis 县为州政府所在地。此次续期延续的是州长2026年6月5日首次发布的同主题灾害公告,依据为《德克萨斯州政府法典》第418.014条。
公告指出,新世界螺旋蝇疫情正自墨西哥向北扩散,对德克萨斯州畜牧业构成持续威胁。螺旋蝇幼虫可寄生于牲畜伤口,若疫情传入将给该州养牛等畜牧产业造成重大损失。基于这一威胁,全州各县的灾害状态继续有效。
续期后,原公告中的全部命令与授权继续执行,州政府各机构可继续按灾害状态调配资源,开展监测、检疫与防控准备。公告由副州务卿 Robert Howden 副署。
德克萨斯州是全美最大的养牛州之一,与墨西哥接壤的边境地带是防范螺旋蝇北扩的前沿。州农业与动物卫生机构此前已就该疫情开展监测与宣传,此次续签使相关应急授权在11月之后继续保持有效。

Texas Renews New World Screwworm Disaster Proclamation: Statewide Disaster Declaration Continues as Threat Moves North
Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed a proclamation in November renewing the state's disaster proclamation for the New World screwworm. The proclamation was issued in Austin, the state capital in Travis County, and renews the governor's original screwworm disaster proclamation of June 5, 2026, under Section 418.014 of the Texas Government Code.
The proclamation states that the New World screwworm continues to spread northward through Mexico and poses an ongoing threat to the Texas livestock industry. Screwworm larvae infest the wounds of livestock, and an incursion would cause serious losses to the state's cattle sector. On that basis, the disaster declaration remains in effect for all Texas counties.
Under the renewal, all orders and authorizations in the original proclamation continue in force, allowing state agencies to keep deploying resources for surveillance, quarantine readiness and prevention under the disaster declaration. The proclamation was attested by Deputy Secretary of State Robert Howden.
Texas is one of the largest cattle-producing states in the nation, and its border region with Mexico is the front line against the screwworm's northward spread. State agriculture and animal health agencies have been conducting monitoring and outreach on the pest, and the renewal keeps the emergency authorities in place beyond November.
