Deadly Flesh-Eating Fly Discovered in Texas Calf

Health officials have confirmed the discovery of a dangerous parasitic insect in a young cow in Texas. The New World screwworm, a flesh-eating fly species, was wiped out from American territory during the 1960s but has now resurfaced.

The detection represents a significant concern for livestock producers across the country. This parasitic fly species is known to cause severe damage to cattle and other animals, making its reappearance particularly troubling for the agricultural sector.
