Mexico Creates Council to Eradicate Cattle Grub
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Mexico has established a technical-scientific council to enhance coordination among government agencies, states, academia, and livestock producers in the fight against the livestock pest known as the screw-worm (GBG). This initiative, announced by the Secretariats of Agriculture and Rural Development and of Science, aims to transition from an emergency response to a national eradication campaign. Following a recent resumption of livestock exports to the U.S. from Sonora, the council will focus on strengthening scientific capabilities and improving surveillance systems. The screw-worm has affected 30 of Mexico's 32 states, with over 39,000 cases reported since November 2024.
