Impact verdict
Low impact. Corroborating reporting continues to confirm 26 US cases and the 21-county Texas emergency quarantine with multi-agency state and federal response. Despite escalation in the agricultural response, no insured commercial, industrial, energy, marine, aviation, or infrastructure asset has been identified, no loss estimate has been published, and no London specialty class is materially exposed. London specialty carriers do not write material livestock disease or agricultural production coverage; potential impact remains low.
