Screwworm fly spotted in Texas decades after US eradicated cattle threat

A screwworm fly has been detected in Texas, according to Dunya News. The species was once a major threat to cattle across the United States. Decades of control programs largely eliminated the pest nationwide. The recent finding marks the first confirmed presence in many years. Authorities are monitoring the situation to assess spread risk. Veterinary officials stress the importance of early detection. Potential impacts on livestock health are being evaluated. Further surveillance will determine if additional measures are needed.
