Original: New World screwworm cases confirmed in wildlife in Texas, beef cow in New Mexico
The US Agriculture Department has confirmed the first detections of New World screwworm in American wildlife in Texas, along with a case in a beef cow in New Mexico. The flesh-eating parasite, which has been spreading north through Central America and Mexico, poses a serious threat to the livestock industry. Officials and farmers are watching closely as authorities respond to contain the outbreak.
Why now: The parasite's arrival in US wildlife and cattle threatens the multibillion-dollar beef industry and raises fears of a wider outbreak.
