Panic in US over infected animal
The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced the detection of a single case of New World screwworm infestation in a calf in Texas. The screwworm is a parasitic fly that feeds on warm-blooded animals and can be lethal if left untreated. This is the first appearance of this pest in Texas since 1966. Its spread threatens to further reduce livestock populations, with potential economic losses estimated at around $1.8 billion if it spreads widely, as its larvae can enter through wounds and mucous membranes of animals.
