Canada closes border to Texas livestock as New World Screwworm parasite takes hold

Late Friday, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) announced that it's temporarily closing the border to Texas livestock to prevent the parasite's introduction and protect animal health. 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.
