Officials have declared a statewide disaster, quarantined the area, and are deploying millions of sterile flies—using a method proven effective decades ago—to stop the outbreak before it escalates. A new domestic fly-production facility in Edinburg is being built in record time to ramp up output from 100 million to 300 million sterile flies weekly. While livestock are at risk, human food supply is safe. Experts urge everyone to watch for signs in animals—and report any suspicious cases immediately.
