Original: New World screwworm cases confirmed in wildlife in Texas, beef cow in New Mexico
US agriculture officials have confirmed the first detections of New World screwworm in American wildlife, with cases found in animals in Texas and in a beef cow in New Mexico. The parasitic fly larvae burrow into the flesh of warm-blooded animals, posing a serious threat to livestock and wildlife health and raising concerns for the cattle industry.
