Screw Worm Fly Spreads in Texas Since Late 2024, Threatens U.S. Cattle Herds

According to U.S. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, the invasive screw worm fly has been spreading in Texas since late 2024, posing a major threat to American livestock. The source and transmission route of the pest remain unclear to experts. Livestock shipments from Mexico have been halted due to the threat. Rollins attributed the pest's expansion to border policy failures, while New Mexico Representative Teresa Leger Fernández cautioned against spreading misinformation about the outbreak's origins.
