Federal agriculture officials are implementing emergency containment strategies to stop the expansion of a dangerous livestock parasite that has emerged in Texas.
U.S. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins has revealed new steps aimed at controlling the outbreak of New World screwworm, a parasite that poses significant threats to cattle and other livestock operations throughout the region.
The containment efforts come as agricultural authorities work urgently to prevent the parasite from spreading beyond its current location, which could have devastating impacts on the livestock industry.
