Arizona officials confirmed a second New World screwworm case, in a domestic horse near Hereford in Cochise County. A mandatory infested zone with a 12.4-mile radius was set up, and animals cannot leave it without a state veterinarian check.
Movement controls in southeast Arizona can tighten local cattle and horse flows and raise the risk of wider restrictions on U.S. livestock. The effect on national cattle prices is likely limited while the outbreak stays localized.
