Live flesh-eating worm returns to US
The detection and documentation of livestock cases infected with the "helminthic worm" known as the "flesh-eating worm" have been reiterated in the United States, leading to a state of alert to implement measures to limit its spread. These larvae feed on live tissues and are dangerous because they can penetrate wounds in both animals and humans, threatening livestock and public health. This comes after authorities had previously succeeded in eliminating this parasite. Currently, quarantine measures are in place, along with intensified inspections and awareness campaigns among farmers.
