The detection was found in a one-month-old calf in Zavala County, located just 5.6 miles away from the first case.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has confirmed a second case of the flesh-eating screwworm parasite in Texas, located within the established control zone and near the initial detection site. This marks the first such cases in the state since 1966, prompting rapid containment efforts to protect the cattle population.
