Texas is facing a serious outbreak of the deadly New World screwworm, with confirmed cases in calves and dogs sparking urgent action from USDA and state officials. Canada has already banned livestock imports from Texas, hitting producers hard. Officials are deploying sterile flies, setting up quarantine zones, and ramping up border surveillance to stop the spread. This invasive parasite burrows into live animals, causing fatal wounds — though it doesn’t affect food safety. Animal owners are urged to inspect pets and livestock closely and report any signs of infestation immediately. This is a coordinated, high-stakes effort to contain and eliminate the threat before it spreads further.
