Veterinarians warn pet owners about New World screwworm fly cases in Texas and New Mexico.
More than 30 confirmed cases of New World screwworm have been reported in Texas and New Mexico, including two cases in dogs. The parasite reappeared in U.S. cattle in June after being largely eradicated for over 50 years. Agriculture officials are responding with sterile fly release programs to combat the spread.
