A wormy situation
A worm infestation has destroyed 14,700 hectares of grassland in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, and pastures were cordoned off yesterday for 10 days to allow workers to spray pesticide.
The outbreak is threatening grass supply to more than 200,000 heads of livestock owned by more than 200 households.
