The prolonged internal review by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and concerns raised by the White House Office of Management and Budget have delayed progress on two facilities and one research initiative deemed critical to the United States' response to the screw-worm fly.

The USDA spokesperson, however, said the agency is moving swiftly to combat the screw-worm fly.
