Canada blocks Texas livestock over screwworm concerns
Canada temporarily banned livestock imports from Texas due to the detection of New World screwworm larvae in South Texas calves, marking the first confirmed U.S. case in decades. Texas officials regard Canada's restrictions as an overreaction, emphasizing that the parasite currently poses a limited threat and does not affect inspected Texas beef. The U.S. is actively working to contain and eradicate the parasite through sterilized fly releases, amid concerns about climate change expanding the fly’s range.
