Global National: June 6, 2026 | Canada bans Texas livestock imports over Screwworm parasite concerns

Описание: Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has declared a state of disaster after a new case of the New World screwworm.

The screwworm fly lays its eggs in the open sores of animals, and its larvae feed on the flesh of their host. Global's Nathaniel Dove reports.

Albania’s government says the project would be transformational for the former communist nation as it seeks to attract more tourists. Redmond Shannon reports.
