· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Mexican Consul Judith Arrieta in Brownsville announced a collaborative effort among Mexico, the United States, and Panama to combat the cattle tick, a pest threatening the livestock industry and regional economy. A key strategy includes launching a facility in Mexico to produce 30 million sterile flies weekly, part of a joint investment with the U.S. Panama is also involved in this regional initiative. The method involves releasing sterile flies to mate with wild ones, disrupting the pest's reproductive cycle. By November, production is expected to increase to 100 million flies weekly, enhancing control efforts in Mexico and the border region.
