A case of New World screwworm was detected in a 3-week-old calf in Zavala County, Texas, marking the first U.S. detection since 1966 and raising concerns about its impact on the cattle industry.
A second case of New World screwworm was confirmed in Texas, prompting state officials to collaborate with federal agencies to prevent the parasite's spread, including releasing sterile flies to control the infestation.
The New World screwworm fly, a flesh-eating parasite, has reappeared in the U.S., threatening the $113 billion cattle industry for the first time in over 50 years, with an infestation confirmed in south Texas.
