America detects tissue-destroying helminth
A second case of the flesh-eating helminth has been reported in Texas, USA, where it was discovered in a one-month-old calf about 9 kilometers from the original site identified last week. These parasites cause the consumption of living flesh and could lead to the death of animals if not treated, posing a threat to the local livestock industry. Authorities have begun taking measures to prevent the spread of the parasite, including stopping the transfer of animals in the area and implementing preventive precautions, while emphasizing that the situation does not pose a food safety threat.
