With four confirmed cases now, including one in a calf and another in a dog, officials are racing to contain the outbreak. This pest, once eradicated in the U.S. by the 1960s, reemerged after being contained in Mexico for decades. The USDA is deploying a high-stakes strategy: releasing millions of sterile male flies to outcompete wild females and halt reproduction. Plans include building a new Texas factory to scale up production. Ranchers and government officials are on high alert as this could become a major agricultural crisis.
