Canada forbyder husdyr fra Texas efter fund af kødædende larve

Canada has implemented a ban on the importation of pets from Texas following the discovery of a flesh-eating New World screwworm larva. The larva was found in a dog that had recently traveled from Texas. This measure is being taken to prevent the potential spread of the parasite into Canada. The New World screwworm can affect warm-blooded animals, including livestock and wildlife, and poses a significant threat to animal health.

This ban is crucial for safeguarding Canada's livestock industry and native wildlife from a potentially devastating parasitic infestation.
