"The USDA confirmed a case of New World screwworm in a three-week-old calf in Zavala County, Texas. The parasite, which was eradicated in the US in the 1960s, poses a significant threat to livestock. A unified Incident Command Team has been established, and quarantine zones and sterile fly releases are being implemented."
