The case was detected in South Texas.
It'll be the country's first case since the pest was eradicated in the U.S.
in the 60s.
The parasite's larvae feed on the living tissue of warm-blooded animals, including cattle, deer, and pets, and, in rare cases, humans.
Texas has spent months preparing for the possibility of an outbreak.
These efforts include plans for a $750 million facility in South Texas to curtail the parasite spread.
Officials haven't released details about exactly where in South Texas the case was found.

Cynthia Orozco is a historian with the League of United Latin American Citizens.
She says the moment calls for a shift in focus beyond Chavez himself.
Orozco says movements are built by people, not just leaders, and that this is a chance to recognize contributions that have often been overlooked.
