Live animal consumption spreads to Texas
The state of Texas is facing a new threat from the spiral worm, a parasite considered one of the most dangerous parasites that infect animals, as it reproduces rapidly in live wounds. A case has been discovered in a young calf, after decades of eradicating the parasite, posing a risk to the livestock industry and the local economy, with estimated losses reaching up to $1.8 billion. The agricultural department has imposed quarantine measures and is taking urgent actions to curb the spread of the parasite and prevent its transmission to humans.
