The USDA has confirmed the first case of New World screwworm in U.S. cattle since the 1960s, detected in a calf in Zavala County, Texas. Authorities are working to contain and eradicate the parasitic fly through quarantines, surveillance, and releasing sterile flies, with ports of entry closed to livestock trade. The agency assures the food supply remains safe, and public reporting of suspected cases is encouraged.
