Pet dogs can travel from the U.S. to Mexico again, after they were briefly included on a list of animals that can’t be exported amid concerns about a flesh-eating parasite.
New World screwworm, a parasite that eats the flesh of cattle and other animals, was detected in the U.S. last week. To help stop the spread, officials banned the export of certain animals from the U.S. to Mexico, including cattle, horses, sheep, goats and ferrets.
