US tests GMO flies to fight flesh-eating livestock pest

The Trump administration has introduced the development of NovoFly, a genetically modified fly designed to combat the New World screwworm. This livestock pest is known for being flesh-eating, and the government has touted the creation of these GMO flies as a game-changer in the ongoing fight to eliminate the parasite. The initiative represents a strategic biological approach to protecting livestock from the devastating effects caused by the New World screwworm across the United States.
