[Brief] US Restarts Screwworm Eradication Campaign; Canada Bans Texas Cattle Imports
According to NBC News, the United States has restarted a large-scale eradication campaign targeting flesh-eating screwworms, a parasitic fly species that was thought to have been eliminated decades ago. The resurgence has infected livestock and prompted Canada to urgently ban cattle imports from Texas to prevent the outbreak from spreading northward. The situation poses a significant threat to the livestock industry, with agencies working to develop new control measures.
