The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has issued an Emergency Use Authorization for Elanco Animal Health's CLiK Extra wound spray to prevent New World screwworm infestations in sheep, cattle, goats, swine, camelids, and certain captive and captured wildlife species. The authorization allows application on or around wounds, including those from birth or surgery, but the product is not approved for this use and will not treat active infestations. Elanco also offers Negasunt Powder and Tanidil, which received emergency authorizations earlier this year, as well as the EPA-registered Catron IV spray. The reentry of New World screwworm into the U.S., confirmed by the USDA in June, poses a critical risk to livestock, pets, and wildlife. CLiK Extra will be available through standard product channels, while Negasunt and Tanidil are distributed via APHIS and its National Veterinary Stockpile.
