In West Texas, a parasitic threat has been identified. A certain fly species can cause severe harm to animals. This condition can lead to serious injuries if not treated.

State officials have taken action after a case was found in Pecos County. Restrictions are now in place for moving animals in several counties.

Further information on these restrictions and the affected areas can be found through the Texas Animal Health Commission or local news sources, such as CBS7 / KOSA-TV News.
