Canada Stops Texas Cattle Imports After Flesh-Eating Worm Outbreak

Canada has banned cattle imports from Texas after a flesh-eating screwworm outbreak was reported in the United States. The decision aims to protect Canadian livestock and prevent the disease from spreading. The ban came after Texas identified a second infected calf. At the same time, the state declared a disaster due to the outbreak. Health and animal officials in both countries are working to control the problem and stop more cases. For now, cattle from Texas cannot be brought into Canada. The government will review the situation as the outbreak is managed and as more information becomes available.
