US officials have unveiled an emergency plan after a flesh-eating parasite was detected in the country for the first time in 60 years. The strategy includes releasing hundreds of millions of sterile flies, setting up containment zones, and deploying sniffer dogs to track the insects. The case was found in a young calf near the Texas-Mexico border, prompting quarantines and tighter surveillance. While the risk to humans is considered low, authorities warn an outbreak could pose a serious threat to livestock and agriculture. #screwworm #usa #news #parasite
