Why would they build a farm to breed flies in the USA?
The United States authorities allocated more than 690 million dollars for its construction. The Texas facility will grow flies. According to RIA Novosti, which investigated information on government spending, the plant will be able to produce up to 300 million insects per week.
The flies will be irradiated so they cannot breed and then released into the wild. The authorities hope in this way to combat the parasite, whose larvae feed on living tissue and pose a danger to people and animals.
