美国停止从墨西哥进口动物活体,因为食肉螺丝蝇接近得克萨斯州。 U.S. halts live animal imports from Mexico as flesh-eating screwworm flies approach Texas.

将幼虫嵌入动物和人类肉体的寄生虫叫螺丝虫, 正在从墨西哥接近得克萨斯州。 A parasitic fly called screwworm, which embeds larvae into the flesh of animals and humans, is approaching Texas from Mexico. 这促使美国暂停从墨西哥进口活动物,担心会对畜牧业产生重大影响,并可能使肉类价格暴涨。 This has prompted the U.S. to suspend live animal imports from Mexico, fearing a significant impact on the livestock industry and potential spikes in meat prices. 1950年代最后一次重大疫情爆发需要数十年才能控制,如果螺丝虫再次进入美国,可能需要作出类似的努力。 The last major outbreak in the 1950s took decades to control, and similar efforts may be required if the screwworm re-enters the U.S.
