EPIDEMIOLOGICAL COMMENTS
On September 10th 2024, within the epidemiological surveillance system, 68 equines that entered illegally to Honduras were inspected. Several of the equines showed wounds during the inspection and in one of them new world screwworm was detected. Samples were therefore taken and sent to the Honduras Veterinary Medicine Research Institute (IHIMV), where through taxonomic keys, larvae of Cochliomya Hominivorax were identified. No cases were detected in the other equines during the clinical inspection. The case was identified 8 km from the border with the Republic of Nicaragua, in the municipality of El Triunfo, Department of Choluteca.
