What is New World Screwworm? Veterinarian explains potential threat to livestock
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WATE) — The Tennessee State Veterinarian is warning livestock owners to keep an eye out for their animals after the New World Screwworm, or NWS, was detected off the border of Mexico. The NWS is an invasive pest that poses a serious threat to livestock and other warm-blooded animals according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. They said the recent findings of this parasite in Mexico highlights the potential for it to spread into southern states. Police seek help to solve 2023 murder of Chris Hill in West Knoxville 'The difference between this fly is that it lays a larva that feeds on living tissue, not dead tissue similar to other flies that lay larva, and they feed on dead necrotic tissue. This fly, or the larva feeds on living tissue or any fresh wound,' said UT Extension Veterinarian, Lew Strickland. Since the parasite was detected in Mexico, Strickland said he has been informing his clients to keep an eye out. 'Look for an odd-looking fly, it has a unique metallic blue body and orange eyes, and has three distinct stripes running along its back right along the top side of its thorax,' he said. While the parasite could impact cattle, he said it could also infect farm animals, pets, and in rare cases, people. KCS Superintendent shares insight into preparations for upcoming school year He said the NWS can cause sudden tissue damage and infections that can lead to death. However, this is not the first time the US has dealt with the screw worm. 'It was back in the 50s that this fly was around, but it was eradicated by a sterile fly mating, sterile flies were created that could mate with these females to where the eggs that they lay are sterile, and they don't hatch,' said Strickland. But if it were to come back, he said it could have serious economic impacts. 'It can easily affect any cattle trade or any other animal industry,' said Strickland. 'We don't want it moving across borders because this fly can be on an animal and that animal could be hauled to another state, and we certainly don't want that as well. So, trade can certainly be affected quickly by this fly.' USDA inspects livestock for flesh-eating parasite in Strawberry Plains While he said it is reassuring to know that since these parasites have been eradicated in the US before, he stresses the importance of checking your animals and reporting any unusual wounds to your local vet or agriculture department. Since they were detected, the USDA suspended imports of live cattle, horses, and bison along the southern U.S. border. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Strickland nails more Serbian gold with 10g/t hit at Gradina prospect
Strickland Metals has nailed more high-grade gold with hits of 4 metres at 10.1 grams per tonne (g/t) from 339.5m and 16.7m going 4.3g/t, including 8m at 6g/t from 391.5m from a first hole in the company's recent drilling program at its Gradina prospect in Serbia. Gradina is part of its huge 7.4 million-ounce gold-equivalent Rogozna project in southern Serbia. Unlike the project's Shanac, Medenovac and Copper Canyon deposits, which include valuable silver, copper, zinc and lead, Gradina appears to be a gold-only prospect. The strong results came from the deposit's northern end and extend the known high-grade mineralisation across 1 kilometre of strike and vertically down to 900m. The company is now on a path to revealing a much-anticipated mineral resource before the end of the year. The initial diamond drill hole in the recent drilling program, which started in March, was hammered into the northern section of what appears to be a mineralised corridor, defined by previous drilling at the prospect. Previous impressive drill intervals at Gradina, in the project's southeast section, include gold hits of 32m running 6.8g/t from 595m, 27.5m at 5g/t from 439.8m and 14.3m going 8g/t from 516.9m. Gradina's mineralisation remains open in all directions, including down-dip and up-dip towards surface. Four drill rigs are feverishly working to grow the resource for the maiden reveal later this year, testing for up-dip extensions and infill drilling to support the anticipated maiden resource. An additional two rigs are working at the project's premier deposit Shanac and at Kotlovi. A seventh rig is expected to motor towards the project in the coming weeks, as the company continues ratcheting up exploration. It plans to run a whopping 50,000m diamond drill campaign this year at the fully-owned project. The company still has a stash of cash in its kitty and liquid assets totalling $34.8 million at the end of March, along with a head-turning $5M strategic investment received in April from US$60 billion Chinese mining firm Zijin Mining. The company has completed 14 drill holes since beginning its program. It expects to receive the outstanding assays in the coming weeks. Rogozna consists of four exploration licences within an area of about 184 square kilometres. Strickland believes the project has the potential to become one of the biggest undeveloped gold deposits globally. The project hosts a giant magmatic hydrothermal system characterised by extensive skarn-based gold-copper mineralisation with varying levels of associated silver, copper, lead and zinc. Strickland's current key deposits within the project include its flagship 5.3M-ounce gold equivalent Shanac inferred resource, its 1.28M-ounce gold equivalent Medenovac resource and the 0.81M-ounce gold equivalent resource at Copper Canyon. Gradina makes up the company's current complement of still-evolving deposits. The company is also looking to plunge the drill bit into high-priority targets at its new Jezerska Reka discovery and at its Kotlovi, Veleiki and Red Creek targets, and to follow up new but earlier-stage targets at Obradov Potok, Leca, Wolf Pond and Kaluder. Strickland recently revealed its 2025 Serbian exploration campaign got off to a flying start, jagging a pair of thick, high-grade hits including a standout 66.8m section grading 2.7g/t gold equivalent at Shanac. A massive gold equivalent intercept was returned of 251.6m at 1.3g/t from 341.9m, including a stellar 58.1m section at 2.3g/t gold equivalent. Zijin Mining's recent leaping onto Strickland's share register makes for an interesting move. Having a powerful player on your side is usually a big positive, especially in Serbia, where Zijin already has a large presence with its Čukaru Peki and Bor copper-gold operations. The two mines pumped out 300,000t of copper and 250,000 ounces of gold last year, which offers evidence of Zijin's prowess in the Balkans country. The growing Rogozna project might one day stand on the global podium as one of the world's biggest undeveloped gold projects - giving Strickland a real leg-up in the eyes of the market's gold pundits.

She Was Missing for Days — Then Police Found a Burn Barrel, and a Chilling Story Began to Unfold
Logan Rogers, 28, is charged with murder after remains were discovered in a burn barrel in his backyard Autumn Strickland, 38, was last seen in the early morning hours of May 16 near a downtown Franklin hotel Police believe that Rogers was driving Strickland's 2012 Kia Soul when she was fatally hit about a mile and a half from the downtown hotel An Alabama man is accused by police of allegedly striking a woman twice with her own vehicle and then taking her remains to his home where they were later found by officers. Logan Rogers, 28, is charged with murder after human remains, believed to be of 38-year-old Autumn Strickland, were discovered in a burn barrel at his Florence home on Tuesday, May 20. 'We do believe they are hers, but we can't confirm that 100 percent until they have been forensically analyzed,' Florence Police Department officer Joshua Meza tells PEOPLE. Strickland, a mother of one, disappeared in the early morning hours of May 17 after she was last seen on video walking with some people near the Stricklin Hotel on Court Street in downtown Florence. She was reported missing on May 18. At the time, the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency said Strickland 'may be living with a condition that may impair her judgment." Police believe that Rogers was driving Strickland's 2012 Kia Soul when she was fatally hit in a business and residential area about a mile and a half from the hotel.

'Video evidence supports that Logan Rogers struck the victim twice and that this act was intentional due to the location and manner in which it was carried out,' according to a criminal complaint obtained by PEOPLE. Meza says Rogers and Strickland 'might have been initially in the car together, but I can't confirm.' After he allegedly struck Strickland twice, Meza says, he abandoned her vehicle on Helton Drive — about a mile and a half away — and then got a ride to pick up his truck in the downtown area. From there, he allegedly drove back to the crime scene, picked up Strickland's body, and brought her back to his home. 'I believe that this body was returned to his residence and recovered by law enforcement during the execution of the search warrant on May 20, 2025,' according to the complaint. According to Meza, remains were found in a burn barrel on Rogers' property. 'I know there was some fire at some point,' says Meza, who added that the two were strangers. Rogers was initially charged with attempted murder, but the charges were upgraded after the remains were discovered at his home. He is being held in the Lauderdale County Detention Center without bail. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for July 14. Read the original article on People
