USDA halts Mexican livestock imports to prevent the spread of flesh-eating New World Screwworm.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has suspended imports of live cattle, horses, and bison from Mexico due to the spread of the New World Screwworm (NWS), a flesh-eating pest.
The NWS, a parasitic fly, can cause extensive damage and death to livestock.
The disease has spread from South and Central America, posing a threat to the U.S. food supply and livestock.
The USDA plans to release sterile male flies to control the pest and will reassess the import ban monthly based on surveillance and eradication efforts.
