· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Mexico has established a scientific-technical council to enhance coordination among government agencies, states, academia, and livestock producers in the fight against the cattle tick (GBG). Announced by the Secretariats of Agriculture and Rural Development and Science, the council aims to transition from an emergency response to a national eradication campaign. This initiative follows President Claudia Sheinbaum's directive to collaborate based on scientific evidence. As of August 23, there were 39,470 reported cases of GBG, with 1,937 still active. The council will focus on improving surveillance systems, early detection, and developing new prevention methods, including AI technologies.
