Disease risks livestock decline
The first infection of the spiral worm disease has been detected in a farm in Texas after decades. This parasite causes significant harm to livestock and threatens the American livestock industry, with potential losses reaching up to $1.8 billion if the pest spreads widely. Federal and local authorities have taken measures to prevent the parasite's spread, including halting the transportation of animals around the site and providing assurances that food safety is not at risk. This discovery represents a serious development that threatens one of the country's largest sectors of agriculture.
