Original: Texas A&M researchers to look at New World screwworm
Researchers at Texas A&M University are launching work on the New World screwworm, a parasitic fly whose larvae infest the wounds of warm-blooded animals and can be deadly to livestock. The parasite has been moving back toward the United States from Central America, raising concern among cattle producers and agricultural officials in Texas and beyond.
Why now: The screwworm's northward spread poses a serious economic threat to the US livestock industry, drawing attention to research efforts.
