UPDATE: New World Screwworm is no longer contained to Texas.
USDA says that the infested dog announced earlier today lives in Lea County, New Mexico and will be reclassified as the first detection in that state.
And now a goat in Gillespie County, TX, has also been confirmed.

Israel flunkies are now going back in history to whitewash earlier colonial conquests and genocides in an effort to whitewash their own criminal enterprise.
As with their own history, they also fabricate an invented past to make their case.
Contrary to the claim below, the French conquest of Algeria had nothing to do with the enslavement of Europeans and Americans.
For centuries, corsairs, or state-sponsored pirates, operated throughout the Mediterranean.
North African corsairs captured European (and later American) ships, seizing their cargo and capturing their crew and passengers in order to enslave or ransom them.
European corsairs similarly captured Ottoman and other ships and enslaved or ransomed their crews and passengers.
The various corsairs also raided and plundered coastal settlements in southern Europe and northern Africa.
By the time French troops occupied Algiers in 1830, the seizure of US ships had already ended as a result of the Barbary Wars.
North African corsairs had stopped attacking US ships in 1805 at the conclusion of the First Barbary War, but had resumed their activities during the War of 1812 after they were encouraged to attack American shipping by Britain.
The attacks on US ships definitively ceased in 1815 with the end of the Second Barbary War.
The French invaded Algeria, then known as the Regency of Algiers, in 1830.
By that time both North African and European corsairs had already largely ceased operations.
The proximate cause of the French conquest of Algeria is what was known as the Bakri-Busnach Affair.
Two Algerian merchants, Bakri and Busnach, had during the Napoleonic Wars supplied the French military with large amounts of grain. Napoleon refused to pay his bills, as well as others incurred by previous French governments to the duo’s company.
As a result the merchants were unable to repay the large loans they had taken from the ruler of Algiers to finance their dealings with France.
The Affair was therefore not just a commercial dispute between Algerian merchants and their French clients, but also a diplomatic one between the governments of Algiers and France.
Bakri and Busnach were Sephardic Jews, whose families had found refuge in Algiers after their expulsion from Spain.
At one point their company sent two representatives, Jacob Cohen Bakri and Simon Abousaya, to France to collect their debts and use the funds to settle their loan. Instead of paying up, the French authorities arrested them.
Intervention by Algiers secured their release, and also an agreement to settle the debt. The French however declined to fulfil their commitments, and further efforts by Algiers and the merchants to recoup their losses similarly came to nothing.
Tensions increased further when Algiers suspected Paris and the merchants were colluding to deprive Algiers of funds it was owed, and thereby weaken it vis-à-vis France.
In 1827, in what came to be known as the Fly Whisk Incident, the Algerian ruler Hussain Dey hit the French Consul, Pierre Deval, in the face with a fly whisk at a public gathering, and ordered him out, in exasperation at being informed by Deval that there had been no progress in the Affair. For good measure Deval had also made various disparaging remarks about Islam and Muslims.
Paris seized upon this as a casus belli, at a time when the French monarch, Charles X, was facing increasing domestic challenges and eager to divert attention to a patriotic campaign abroad.
Fortified by support from Istanbul and Britain, Hussain refused to apologise, and the subsequent French blockade did more damage to French commerce in Marseille than to Algiers.
The crisis was ultimately resolved by the French occupation of Algiers in 1830.
By the time France consolidated its rule over Algeria in 1875, between 500,000 and one million Algerians, out of a total population of some three million, lay dead. Many scholars describe the French pacification campaign as a genocidal war.
The above details notwithstanding, France’s motivations in seizing Algeria were ultimately no different than those that led it and other European powers to occupy and colonize other territories around the globe.
It had everything to do with France’s commercial interests and its rivalries with other powers, and absolutely nothing to do with what it liked to call "La mission civilisatrice".
The pretensions of Israel flunkies aside, it is useful to bear in mind that colonialism and its associated crimes is infinitely more vile than the worst of its victims.
