## Resource

Screwworms are spreading—two new cases in Texas calves bring U.S. totals to 15, with officials confirming this was expected as sterile fly releases target future generations, not existing larvae. A worrying new case in a lamb in Crockett County signals expansion into unmonitored territory, prompting USDA to deploy sterile flies there. Surveillance is tight, with real-time maps tracking hotspots—showing proactive containment as the outbreak evolves. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
